Abstract

Hyge sled tests were conducted using a rear- seat sled fixture to evaluate submarining responses (the lap belt of a lap- shoulder belt restraint loads the abdominal region instead of the pelvis). Objectives of these tests included an evaluation of methods to determine the occurrence of submarining; an investigation into the influence of restraint system parameters, test severity, and type of anthropomorphic test device on submarining response; and an exploration of the mechanics of submarining.
