Abstract

An analysis of front seat outboard occupants in frontal and rollover crashes is presented. The occupants were lap belted, lap-shoulder belted or were unrestrained. There is a strong association between belt usage and the occupant escaping from the crash with no injury. In rollover crashes, belts reduce the frequency of the more severe injuries by preventing the occupant from being ejected.
