You can argue that the seatbelt pretensioners are designed to tension you into the seat in a crash so locking it is just getting ahead of those, but IDK. I'll take a little discomfort over the unknown.

that doesnt make sense. The seatbelts have explosive canisters attached to them to pull you back into the seat. Tightening them a bit before the explosions go off shouldnt make a difference. Think about how much brute force we are putting on the seatbelts when we slide the seat forward compared to the real brute force of the explosion pulling say a 180lb body being flung forward by the force of the impact that it has to pull back. I dont think the little bit of extra tension we put on the seatbelts for playtime will make a difference in an accident.
