Abstract

Although the ability of seat belts to reduce the risk of injury has been recognised for some years, the limits of the protection available from current belt systems have not been fully documented. This study aims to define those limits and describe the nature of the injuries sustained. Particular attention is given to those body areas where loading from the belt itself can cause injury.
