N2  - The deceleration forces experienced by a crew member of a B-58 ejecting at supersonic speeds are comparable with, or more severe than, a typical head-on automobile crash. Forces of approximately 30 g's are involved yet crewmen survive with little or no injury. The secret is the controlled environment with an adequate restraint system. I believe the three-point belt with locked waist belt more nearly approaches this system with the protection it affords while still providing necessary convenience of use.    Why a Three-Point Belt rather than other types of shoulder restraint? It embodies a one-point attachment and release. Examples and illustrations are provided.<p />
