Some authors and institutions from different countries recommend not to use safety belts in agricultural tractors that do not have ROPS. They justify it because of the impossibility of leaving the vehicle in case of rollover and the severity of the damage suffered by tractor drivers.
But other authors indicate that It is impossible to react quickly enough to jump clear of a rolling tractor. If an operator isn’t struck by the tractor when he or she is thrown off, it is likely they may be struck or crushed by the equipment or load hitched to the tractor.
Do you have data to support this decision?
Do you share the relevance of this recommendation?
Thanks in advance.
This problem is similar to our domestic some car driver's act, they drive without a seat belt, and say it's impossible to leave the car in the case of turning over the car
Thank you very much Mr. Wenwang Yang.
It is true what you indicate, it does not seem logical to recommend something because it's bad when overturned. It's like to assume that the tractor will tip over.
The logical thing is to avoid overturning, do not you think?

But there are not too many similarities between a car and an agricultural tractor. The car does not overturn so easily and often does not have passive protection for the driver.
