I am partial to a rigid seat. I have both an older (2005) Kirkey, and a Butler built. I have never been sore after wrecking with either of those seats. I have been hurt when my seats have bent. Of course, this could be a function of the severity of the wrecks. On the concussion front, the worst concussion I suffered in a race car was in a car with no head rest and double window nets. Look at the new Butler built seats, the head rests have huge pads to help decelerate the head. I like my Butler, my Kirkey requires a bit more work to mount properly, as it needs extra supports to be sufficiently rigid, but with my current frame I can make myself more comfortable on the car with that seat. As important as seats are, seat belt mounting is just as important. If your belt geometry is not right, the belts will not work right. I spent 10 months with a limp because of this fact, and I am lucky it wasn't worse.
