Abstract

A study of a series of fatally injured occupant of recent model passenger cars, performed in order to investigate the potential for extension of the limits of seat belt performance in crashes that are currently fatal is reported. Improvements in seat belt design and installation should reduce a proportion of current losses from death and injury, but further reductions in these losses will demand attention only to the crashworthiness of the car but also to the characteristics of the other vehicles and roadside structures that are commonly impacted.
