abstract="This paper presents selected data from a year long study by the McGill University Accident Investigation Team of 74 accident cases where one or more fully restrained (lap and shoulder) occupants of the vehicles received injuries of level 2 or greater on the Overall Abbreviated Injury Scale (OAIS). Predominant accident mechanisms in each OAIS category and several areas of particular safety-related interest are discussed. Narratives of cases are included where the retraint system apparently caused or increased the severity of the injury. Recommendations to improve occupant protection are provided.<p />",
