1.2 ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– INTRODUCTION
SAFETY FIRST
Introduction to the subject

Why have seat belts?
It has been roven that seat belts
give good rotection in accidents. In
most countries, therefore, the wear-
ing of seat belts is required by law.
Warning
•
The belts should be ut on
before every journey – even in
town traffic. This also a lies to
rear seats.
Pregnant women too should
always wear a seat belt. This is the
only way to guarantee rotection
for the unborn child! For more
information on this oint lease
see age 1.11.
•
The routing of the belt is of
major im ortance to the rotective
effect of the belt.
How the belt should be worn is
described on the next ages.
This illustration shows a car driving
towards a wall. The vehicle occu ants are
not belted in.
The hysical rinci le of a frontal crash is
easy to ex lain.
As soon as the vehicle is moving, so-
called “kinetic energy” is created by the
movement of the vehicle , in the vehicle
itself as well as in the vehicle occu ants.
The extent of the “kinetic energy” effect
de ends largely on the s eed of the vehi-
cle and on the weight of the vehicle and
the vehicle occu ants.
The higher the s eed and the greater the
weight of the vehicle, the more energy
must be dis ersed should an accident
occur.

The s eed of the vehicle is, however, the
most im ortant factor. If, for exam le, the
s eed increases from 25 km/h to 50
km/h, the kinetic energy increases four-
fold!
As the vehicle occu ants in our exam le
are wearing no seat belts, their entire
kinetic energy can only be dis ersed
through the crash into the wall, should a
crash occur. The consequences would be
severe or ossibly even fatal injuries.
If you are driving at a s eed of only
30 Km/h to 50 km/h, forces which can
easily exceed 1000 kg are exerted on the
body should an accident occur.
The forces exerted on the body will
increase further at higher s eeds, e.g. At
twice the s eed the forces increase four-
fold!
Vehicle occu ants not wearing their seat
belts are thus not “linked” to their vehi-
cle.
In a frontal crash, these eo le will con-
tinue to move forward at the same s eed
as the vehicle was travelling before the
vehicle crashed!
