abstract="The data available from a variety of crash files indicate that rear seat occupancy is low, that the more serious injuries or fatalities are infrequent, and more often the rear lap-belted passenger is no more seriously injured than the front seat lap-shoulder belted occupant in the same car. Some conclusions of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Report No. SS-86/03 (1986) are in conflict with these data.  Up until now there has been little data on the protective benefits of the lap-shoulder belts to rear seat occupants in crashes.  To transfer the belt effectiveness figures from the front seat to the rear seat is inappropriate.  The true effectiveness of rear lap-shoulder belts in reducing injury severity, and the possible injuries associated with this belt system, will only be realized and understood through detailed field crash investigations.<p />",
