The fifth point (and sixth, in case of a six-point harness) is a
"submarine belt", designed to keep you from sliding forward UNDER the
belts.  It goes from the buckle, down the front of the seat, to the
floor.  In my opinion, a submarine belt is completely unnecessary for
street use (as well as a hassle to use).
