Abstract

Prior to 1974, there were very few people wearing lap/shoulder belt restraints and measurement of restraint performance was not possible with existing field accident data. When the inertial locking retractor and the starter interlock were introduced, lap/ shoulder belt usage increased dramatically. This paper compares results of lap/ shoulder belt studies. It is concluded with an assessment of lap / shoulder belt effectiveness, based on actual field data.
