Abstract

The authors review the effectiveness of 15 occupant restraint systems. The value for each system was determined for a range of impact speeds and frontal impact directions to form the effectiveness matrices used in the study. The authors conclude that a complete lap-belt system used in airbag-equipped passenger cars would have saved 17900 lives in 1969. A discussion challenges some of the conclusions of the paper.
