Abstract

This paper reviews the biomechanical background for frontal loading of the chest and associated injury assessment methods and then examines the special features of shoulder belt loading with respect to that background. Biomechanical tests and real-world crash data are used to evaluate the appropriateness of dummy chest deflection criteria for injury assessment of shoulder belt performance.
