The seat belt still allows your head to move around enough that it can
easily contact most designs of roll cages.  This tends to be more of a blunt
impact rather than a glancing impact  that you would get from the somewhat
padded interior of your car as it now sits.  This includes side and rear
impacts as well as frontal ones.
