My coach has belts in the booth and sofa both installed in slides. There's a heavy metal frame under the booth front facing seat (takes up space in the storage compartment) that is bolted to the floor of the slide. The bolts are 1/2" diameter with carriage style smooth round heads that are visible under the slide when it is extended.
There might be some concern about attaching seat belts to a slide with potential stability in an accident but if an accident is bad enough that the coach breaks up and the slide takes flight it won't matter much where you were sitting.
Always good to stay seated and belted in when moving. Had Bogart the 40 pound All American RV Dog fly off the couch and bounce off the dashboard once because of a quick stop. He wasn't happy the rest of the drive. Great brakes on the F53 chassis.
