Abstract

This paper presents a number of clinical case studies of motor vehicle occupants who have received injuries directly attributable to the improper use of occupant restraints. The severity of the injuries suffered by the restrained occupants would have been reduced had the seat belt systems been worn correctly. In several of these cases, improperly worn seat belts probably resulted in more severe injuries than would have been expected had the occupants been unrestrained.
