Some design aspects for high-speed snowmobile safety. Paper presented at Automotive Engineering Congress, Detroit, Michigan, January 10-14, 1972.

Analytical and experimental methods used to ensure a maximum amount of safety in the design of a high-speed snowmobile are described. The final design of such vehicle incorporated measures to counter adverse tendencies during high-speed operation, as well as backup devices such as a rollover bar, auxiliary braking system, fire protection, and an escape mechanism.
