You need the stopping distance for the correct answer.
I posted an example of a 160# person stopping in 1 ft traveling 30 mph. He is pulling 30g'. That means the seat belt is applying 30x his weight to stop him in 1 ft, 2.4 ton.
I would say the best answer for stopping distance would be to measure the distance the front bumper and motor is pushed back when it hits a solid object.

Bottom line, there is no chain, D-ring, or DOT regulation that will withstand 30 g's.
It's a joke thinking DOT regulations of 0.8g's is going to keep you safe if you are in a serious accident.
