Also the seat belt lock ruins the seat belt and if you ever have to slam on brakes you have replace both the seat belt and the lock.

There is actually a notice tag sewed into the seatbelt that is visible when too much force is applied. Most often the spool is no longer operative at that point as well.

If you get in an accident and the seat belt saves your life you do in fact have to replace (at least) the seat belt.

    GP's point was the false-positives (cases where a seatbelt inertial lock locks in the absence of a collision) are a low three-figure event in the case of a SawStop rather than "you need to lean back against seat to let the belt unlock itself".

    I don't think GP is objecting to the cost of a true-positive [in either the saw or seatbelt case] but rather to the cost of a false-positive.
