Since that happened, I've always been a bit paranoid about "custom" seat mounting brackets, especially DIY. I would always overbuild this part of your car. But I get that I may be more sensitive to the situation than most.

If the seat belts were bolted to the floor pan bosses how would a broken seat bracket allow a person to be thrown from the car?
Was this a case where the belts were integral to the seats?
