Review on 🐶 Lukovee Dog Safety Vest Harness with Seatbelt: Adjustable Pet Harnesses with Breathable Mesh & Vehicle Connector Strap for Car Travel by Kim Palmer

Bought for our Miniature Schnauzer, who likes to be with us everywhere, including in the car. The kids tied her to this harness at one point because it's the easiest to use, the dog doesn't mind and we like her getting used to it. The kids started running as usual, and our fluffy cannonball raced at full speed for the fun. She (the dog, not the kid) reached the end of our 20ft tie and BOOM, the stitching holding the D-rings together burst with no noticeable change in the dog's speed. Now let's assume that our wonder pup achieves the breed's highest recorded speed, which is 38 miles per hour (16.98 meters per second), and assume that he was able to maintain his 5.9 kg mass to full speed by the end of the tie, using my high school physics formula (F=MA, baby!) and assuming a 0.5 second lag time at the end of the tie, that means my little furry ball applied about 200 Newtons of force and the line broke. If the same speed were achieved in a car crash, it would apply 4,254 Newtons of force with an estimated 23.5 milliseconds (estimated deceleration time with seatbelt on). Will this suspension hold up in a crash? Um... unlikely. Does it hold her? Basically, but that won't stop them from flying out of the windshield. But better than nothing I think. I think for a more accurate "crash test" we should have attached the tie down straps to the seat belt adapter rather than directly to the seat belts. The adapter has a small bungee to slow acceleration, but I doubt it will absorb the 4 kilonewtons of force difference, and the SPCA and my wife might not approve of repeated "crash testing" on my dog!
