abstract="If car manufacturers carry out crash tests at only one speed and with only one dummy size there is a risk of sub-optimizing the car safety systems. This risk is illustrated by an assumed case. An existing belt system is compared with two hypothetical designs. Depending on which test strategy is chosen, the safety properties of one of the new designs can be found to be either better, or worse, than the existing system. This shows that the consequences of an inadequate test strategy for new safety systems can be that instead of achieving a reduction in injuries with the new system, the result might be an increase in the number of injuries out in the real traffic environment.<p />",
