Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to asses the abdominal response to high speed seatbelt loading. Six cadaver tests were performed at various velocities and the results from these tests allowed the definition of linear data. The results showed that there was greater risk of abdominal injury if the seatbelt was loaded on the abdomen instead of across the pelvis the risk of injury was greater. The results in this study, however, were too small to allow firm conclusions to be drawn as to injury risk.
