Abstract

Details are given of an automatically inflatable air bag restraint system developed by Ford and Eaton Yale and Towne. In deceleration tests live primates protected by scaled-down versions of the restraint system survived impacts up to 57g., where as even 40g. produced fatal injuries with the best of other restraint systems.
