Seatbelt material in anchor building

I've got ~8 yards of seat belt material (2inch polyester webbing, 6000lbs tensile strength) laying around from a recent project. Is there any reason why I shouldn't use the extra webbing in building anchors or other general climbing purposes? 

You could make a sweet swami belt

Bulky, slippery and wide for knots, if left as tat subsequent people will be sketched out. 

Yeah go for it

Great idea. And if you have some spare airbags lying around, you could use them as crash pads. So creative!

Only thing I can imagine is how they cut.  Those seatbelts cutters seem to start a cut and then they just rip I wonder if they are designed to be cut easily so EMS can get people out.  If that's the case a small nick could cause that leg of the anchor to fail.

I dont know I have no hard data to support that.  Maybe webbing cuts just as easy

Also webbing is like $0.35 per foot so you are saving like $8.

I didn't even think about how well they cut, that's a good point. I don't know how well regular webbing cuts either though. 

I wasn't necessarily trying to avoid buying webbing, I just know the seatbelt roll will sit on a shelf for 4 years while I wait for some other project that needs it (there probably won't be one) before I finally just throw it away. 

Da fuk?!

Put that shit on craigslist or FB marketplace.

Hi Kevin. A car seatbelt is stronger than the UIAA requirement of 22 kN. I have tons of chord, rope, sling, and webbing but I have still used 2 times a car seatbelt on a tree at top of a route. To me it's bombproof. Any nylon, Dyneema or kevlar are easy to cut with a sharp knife, especially under load, climbing rope included.
