Hopefully they will take into account the complete shoulder harness which if adjusted properly, would keep you out of the column in a crash - but may not help a lot if a severe front end crash shoves the column rearward. I worry more about keeping my forehead and brain pan out of the windshield header and sun visor hardware than anything else - thus I always have my shoulder straps on. I did change mine out to 3” straps.

I don't think they care about the steering wheel, just that the system has some sort of collapsability (Is that a word..?) to it. I'm going to install the stuff that comes from ERA and argue my case with DMV if they react. The ERA column does collapse and DMV have not specified any standard.
