RF tether vs. ARB

Another thread got me thinking about this. If the RF tether makes a carseat safer in a side-impact collision because it stabilizes it, do you think the ARB would do the same thing, or is it just for anti-rebound?

I'm not sure what the answer is. The second page of this thread kind of went there, but there's certainly no consensus. I tend to be of the opinion that the ARB isn't going to provide as much benefit in a side impact (though it's still a good thing as anything that absorbs crash forces would be). It's hard to say without actual crash/crash test data- and we all know how likely we are to see that.
