    With the position it’s in I feel like the seat belt would probably stop it, it would have to rotate really far for the keyboard to slip past and at that point I feel like it’s more likely to be flung into the floor than the windshield

      No it’s just going to rotate out of the belt. Nothing is stopping it from rotating. That thing is too top heavy with it being a tube monitor. It’s only secured at the bottom which won’t do shit other then let it rotate.

        It depends how far it gets before the seatbelt locks, if there isn’t much space between the belt and the seat it would be pretty hard for it to rotate. It would also need to somehow get a lot of upward motion to go through the windshield instead of just smashing in a dashboard and I don’t see how that would happen unless it was a really crazy crash.

          It’s too heavy enough where that belt won’t do much since it’s so low on the computer.

          The alternative is this person gets t-boned and instead of the monitor going through the wind shield it goes through their head.

          The bottom line is this isn’t a good idea. There are better ways to deal with this.
