    Yesterday a small tour with 24 Spyders/Rykers, speed below 60mph, temperature up to 97 degrees, boy was i happy that i added the seat belt the day before. It was at least doable driving in t-shirt and no helmet, it felt nice as well

    Seatbelt(s) on a Spyder, no, unless it was there was a frunk full of empirical evidence that it dramatically saved lives/reduced injuries ... and then it could still be a choice to wear the belts or not. Just my opinion.

    If an airbag option was added to the RT Limited, I would pay extra to get that model.

    One thing to consider is why your wife is thinking about seat belts. If it's a general safety worry, perhaps an airbag vest might help. If she feels like she's falling off the Spyder, in addition to armrests, the handholds on either side are there.
    Good luck!
