Use of Seat Belt and Restraint Systems
Over the past thirty years, there have been major public safety campaigns encouraging automobile drivers and passengers to "buckle up" for safety. What the motoring public has not been told is that "buckling up" may not at all ensure the safety the restraint system was theorized to provide.

What Our Clients Say

Moreover, both the manufacturers of these seat belt system components and the major U.S. automakers installing them have known for at least three decades that these buckle systems were designed to be simple, cheap, and (as a result) particularly vulnerable to unlatching during accidents.

Why Seat Belts Save Lives
The primary reason the seat belt saves lives has to do with the physics of mechanical forces produced during an accident. Sir Isaac Newton's first law states that an object in motion will tend to stay in motion. This is true of the human body as well as objects. Once a body and an automobile are both moving together at highway speeds, for example, of 55 miles per hour, a collision causing a sudden deceleration ahead in the vehicle will not immediately affect the continued motion of the human occupant inside, whose body will continue in the same direction at the same speed as it had been immediately prior to the accident. This means that, unless restrained, the human occupant will continue at 55 miles per hour into the steering wheel, dashboard, windshield or (if in the rear seat) into the seat back of the front seat or through the windshield (if no seat back is directly in front).
