Watched both sets. Not too surprised by the movement. Can see how for some people (especially taller, where you sit more beneath the main hoop) you would be at risk.
So really the question is - can your seat under the stress of an impact move far enough rearward that your head might hit the roll bar instead of the headrest? And if your head is above the headrest, how much trouble you might be in then.
I'd still be confident of not hitting my head in my car, if only because of my seat mounting - fixed back, bolted down, engineer signed off on the lot. And on the other hand, I'd rather not find out the hard way that I'm wrong.
Anyway, yes, a can of worms.

Re: Sturdiness of the NC
And I question why do people;
-buy generic/copy seats of unknown quality (ie. cheap and nasty)
-swap out their airbag wheel for one without
But then I guess it is Darwin's Law.
