As a driver there is benefit to CG lock, risk/reward is good. I've recommended it to several of my students... As an instructor/passenger, there is no benefit only added complexity and unknown... If you handed me one, I'd say thank you, then put it in the glove box.

I'm all for equal restraints but would not require one for me if I were instructing. It's more comfort versus safety in my opinion.

Turn 5 and turn 7 at WGI, are really the only places my butt slides a little to the left in the seat.
I understand your statement, and it is with the help of instructors that I am now able to carry more speed into the turns, in the turns and coming out of the turns.
