JD agreed, lap belts were standard in the industry for 30+ years. The shoulder portion just keeps you upright and helps to tension the lap portion in a crash. Basically the shoulder portion keeps you from bending in half and hitting the dash with your head. The lap portion is what keeps your butt in the seat.

A lap belt is good enough for an airplane, not that a lap belt or shoulder belt would protect you that much in a plane crash.
