TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - The injuries caused by the seat belts through the deformation of the seats JO - Transactions of Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan A1 - Motomiya, Yoshihiro A1 - Ishibashi, Tatsuya A1 - Yamanouchi, Haruo A1 - Ohki, Motofumi SP - 269 EP - 275 VL - 40 IS - 2 N2 - A driver and a passenger of a compact car died with abdominal injuries in a head-on collision accident. They are supposed to be pressed by the seat belts because the front parts of the seats deformed downward in the accident. So we tested the strength of the seats of some passenger cars. The test revealed that the seats of the crashed car were obviously weaker than the others. We think the seats of passenger cars must have the sufficient strength to support the occupants strained by the seat belts who move forward by crash.
