81. Vince & Larry's Seat Belt Room What s the right way to wear your safety belt? Here the seatbelt is strapped acrossthe stomach where the belt itself could cause internal damage in a crash. http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/kids/research/seatbelt/

Welcome Safety Fans! You've reached the seat belt room of the Research Lab. Did you know that seat belts are the MOST effective means of reducing fatalities and serious injuries in a traffic crash? It's true. In fact, seat belts save over 10,000 lives in America every year. The sad fact is that yearly thousands of people still die in traffic crashes. When a vehicle is involved in a crash, passengers are still traveling at the vehicles original speed at the moment of impact. When the vehicle finally comes to a complete stop, unbelted passengers slam into the steering wheel, windshield or other part of the vehicle's interior. (Ouch!) Seat belts are your best protection in a crash. They are designed so that the forces in a crash are absorbed by the strongest area of your body the bones of your hips, shoulders and chest. They keep you in place so that your head, face and chest are less likely to strike the windshield, dashboard, other vehicle interiors or other passengers. They also keep you from being thrown out of a vehicle. The Top 4 Reasons Why You Should Wear Your Seat Belt Seat belts can save your life in a crash.

Meanwhile, the NHTSA estimates that 7,000 U.S. car accident fatalities would have been avoided if the victims had been wearing belts. While seatbelts do occasionally contribute to serious injury or death, nearly all safety experts agree that buckling up dramatically increases your chances of surviving an accident. According to the NHTSA, seatbelts reduce the risk of death for a front seat car occupant by about 50 percent. When you think about it, this is absolutely amazing: How can a piece of fabric end up being the difference between life and death? What does it actually do? In this article, we'll examine the technology of seatbelts to see why they are one of the most important technologies in any car.

85. Seatbelt Physics From Leonard Evans, The Science of Traffic safety , The Physics Teacher 26, October1988, Page 431, Table I. Data on seatbelt effectiveness was obtained by http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/seatb2.html

When would you be better off not wearing your seatbelt? My friend Eddie's Uncle Joe heard about this truck driver who narrowly avoided a fiery wreck by plunging his truck through the gaurdrail and down a 100 meter cliff. If he had had his seatbelt on, he would never have been able to jump out at the last second and hang on to the gaurdrail. Maybe so. But the work-energy principle must be satisfied in every collision, and it dictates that the work done in stopping the driver must be equal to the driver's kinetic energy . The shorter the stopping distance, the greater the impact force . And cases where the seatbelt would not lengthen your stopping distance and decrease your impact force are about as rare as this kind of accident. Rather than making judgements about safety from anecdotes like the one above, it is wise to consider the evidence from the large database on traffic fatalities Index Work-energy principle Car crash scenario ... Mechanics R Nave Go Back While the driver with an airbag may experience the same average impact force as the driver with a good seatbelt , the airbag exerts an equal pressure on all points in contact with it according to Pascal's principle . The same force is distributed over a larger area, reducing the maximum pressure on the body.

Hints: Move seat rearward, buckle up, recline back of seat and tilt wheel down. A irbags were installed in autos in the late 1980s to save lives in crashes, and 7,000 hearts are statistically still beating because of airbags. But this life-saving technology has also killed 175 children and small-stature women. How can this happen and what can an at-risk woman do to protect herself? Airbags are designed to cushion occupants as the force of a front-end crash pushes them forward. By providing a cushion, an airbag keeps the occupant's head, neck and chest from hitting the steering wheel or dashboard. To perform well, an airbag must deploy quickly and forcefully. The force is greatest in the first 2-3 inches after the airbag bursts through its cover and begins to inflate. The force decreases as the airbag inflates farther.
