abstract="In the position statement made by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, they strongly endorse the view that all motorists should be required by law to wear safety belts, and they strongly endorse the development and introduction of passive protection systems as an adjunct to a safety belt usage law. They believe that all head restraints should be of a fixed design and that all motorists who transport children should install and use child restraints. They urge manufacturers to simplify and improve the design of child restraints to facilitate their use. Mandatory safety belt usage, fixed design head restraints and simplified child restraint systems are seen as the most cost effective measures that could be adopted to prevent further needless deaths and injury from motor vehicle accidents.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
