I have seen them take some serious hits including Nick Hams cart wheel at miller and come out intact. One big bar in the front slides the seat back quick. We have them in our cars now. Don't get me wrong, I think you should be able to use the device you choose but lawyers (sorry Jeff Y) have screwed up the reliance on personal responsibility.
In talking with seat manufacturers at PRI, I learned a new FIA standard is forthcoming. Racetech seats (?) (Australian) told me there is no way they can pass the test without back support. So, depending on sanctioning bodies adoption of the standards, sliders may become a thing of the past.
