I see pics of Cirrus people. Lots of them wear their lapbelts around their chest. WTF... Just me or do others see lots of it also?

I see lots of replies in this thread blaming the pilots for the seatbelt position, but they are just doing what they can to tolerate a seat belt design. It is only a safe restraint when it is so uncomfortable that after a minute you have to loosen it. The shoulder belt internal reels are too strong and pull the buckle up. I bought a pair of seat belt adjuster clips to try to make it not pull up so hard but they weren't strong enough to stop the inertial reel from pulling. I only flew the G5 with airbag shoulder belts, so maybe it is better in other models?
