Abstract

Studies of crashes in which seat belt wearers have been killed or injured have revealed many cases in which occupants have been needlessly injured through deficiencies in design, anchorage, geometry, and adjustment. The most common reason for belt-induced injury is loose adjustment. Automotive retractors help the adjustment problem, but permit greater excursion than firmly adjusted "static" belt systems.
