Genius using seat belt. Effective but inexpensive and ready to install. Nice job brother.

six feet is enough for a trauma. Great to see a safety. You might want to consider a screw lift system Acme screw.replace the winch.

I think the seatbelt isnt necessary, we are talking about in laws after all! 😳 I refer to mine as out-laws.😜

I like your ideas, I think two seatbelts maybe four. If it hit on one, what if only that corner stops and it tumbles over and dumps the passenger.

I know this is an old video. I'm curious how you attach the synthetic cable to the spool. Is it the same attachment as the wire rope? How has this system held up ?

I really enjoyed your pragmatic approach! I would be interested in testing the seatbelt. You could block up the platform coming down and let out extra line, then kick out the support to see if the seatbelt engaged. Have you tried something like that?

you could also mount the winch where pulley is above to reduce noise at platform. good idea on the seat belt! Would this work outside?

Nice again thnx do you think a lift like your could work for 3 floors 30 ft for me

Very good. What is the exact name and model of this seat belt mechanism?

Think I’ll just continue with my idea of a fall arrestor. If I’m lifting 200 kg I’m not sure car seatbelt will cut it

Wow, the wrongness continues. I watched the first video and commented how the two big scary issues are the lack of solid doors at the car's back & front exits which should be electrically interlocked with the hoist power (no motor power unless both solid doors are locked in place, use limit switches). The front door would act also as a wheel chair ramp and the back door will also serve as the top stair entry platform. Leaving that platform on the stairs, as this guy does, while the car moves downwards with Grandpa means Grandma, at the top, could accidentally walk off that platform and fall (yikes!). So easy to attach that platform to the car. A seat belt as a safety??? Seat belts are only meant to hold back your upper torso as you lurch forward during a crash. They are for sure not meant to handle a person's whole weight plus the elevator's weight. This goofy Rube Goldberg feature gets an F grade. Replacing the the hoist cable with some sort of hardware store plastic rope - Wow, very scary! The company making that hoist would, I am sure, not advise this (and would advise against using it as a people mover too I'll bet). The original metal cable probably is less prone to fraying and breaking when compared to plastic, even fancy high strength plastic.
