N2  - The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of restraints in preventing injury-producing contacts of specific body regions, such as the head, chest, with specific interior components. Injury-producing contact rates are compared for four restraint configurations: unrestrained, three-point belted, driver air bag alone, and driver airbag plus three-point belt. The three-point belt provides substantial reductions in driver-injury rates for head/face and torso contacts with the glazing, pillar/rails, and steering assembly. The addition of the driver airbag to the three-point belt appears to offer further reductions in these injury rates.<p />
