TY - JOUR PY - 1977// TI - The effectiveness of belt systems in frontal and rollover crashes JO - Journal of traffic medicine A1 - Huelke, Donald F. A1 - Lawson, TE A1 - Scott, Rachel A1 - March IV, JC SP - 8 EP - 16 VL - 5 IS - 1 N2 - Severe, serious, critical-to-life injuries and fatalities are reduced by the use of belts in both frontal and rollover collisions. In addition, belts increase the occupants chances of escaping from the crash without injury. In frontal and rollover crashes belts reduce severe-to-fatal head injuries, mostly eliminate neck fatalities, significantly reduce the more severe lower extremity injuries and reduce severe thoracic and abdominal injuries and fatalities.
