%X A new prototype ATD (anthropometric test devise) thorax has been developed to be compatible with the General Motors hybrid III test dummy. This new chest provides a better opportunity to incorporate certain characteristics of live human beings when subjected to upper torso belt loading. This paper describes the deflection response characteristics of the new surrogate at sub-injurious and injurious impact levels. These results are compared to the responses obtained for other ATDs.<p />
