Just my two cents worth. I would be afraid that putting the strap under your arm would probably not work as well because that certainly isn't the way they describe using it and the upper body has a better chance of falling forward in the event of a collision. IMHO. Goes back to the basic "follow the directions" rule. I was certainly lucky to have had mine over my shoulder in a collision a few years ago. Saved my life, I would say. It is probably 6 of one and half dozen of the other, whether the strap is harmful...and there is always the legality...I do recall my hubby's chest was bruised and that was the reason given. Air bags are just as iffy.
Who would think that life could be so complicated. How about those horse and buggy days.....They may not have had what we have...but are all our choices that great?
