Oh, yeah...sign me up....

BTW, which Hutchens? There have been quite a few variants over the course of the product cycle.

Professor, I seemed to remember some of the "1st gen" ones tied into the shoulder or leg restraints, but it was so long ago and such a piece of C _ _ P, I don't really remember the details. You might be right about it not tying into the restraints. I do remember a bunch of secondary injuries including the one you mention.
As a side note, if you boys are driving your car on track with only a five-point system versus six I'd think again. Similar injuries and surgeries to repair said damage by a single submarine strap have been documented. If you don't want to invest in a new harness than wear a cup! The future children's lives you save may be yours!
