Safety

the buckle could cause severe injuries in

the event of an accident. Therefore, you

must check the condition of all seat belts

at regular intervals.

●Seat belts which have been worn in an

accident and have been stretched must be

replaced by a specialised workshop. Re-

newal may be necessary even if there is no

apparent damage. The belt anchorage

should also be checked.

●Do not attempt to repair a damaged seat

belt yourself. The seat belts must not be re-

moved or modified in any way.

●The belts must be kept clean, otherwise

the retractors may not work properly.

Head-on collisions and the laws of

physics

Fig. 8 A driver not wearing a seat belt is thrown

forward violently.

Fig. 9 The unbelted passenger in the rear seat

is thrown forward violently, hitting the driver

who is wearing a seat belt.

The effects of the laws of physics in the case

of a head-on collision are easy to explain: the

moment a vehicle starts moving, a type of en-

ergy called “kinetic energy” starts acting on

both the vehicle and its passengers.

The amount of “kinetic energy” depends on

the speed of the vehicle and on the weight of

the vehicle and of its passengers. The higher

they are, the more energy there is to be “ab-

sorbed” in the event of an accident.

The most significant factor, however, is the

speed of the vehicle. If the speed doubles

from 25 km/h (15 mph) to 50 km/h (30 mph),

for example, the corresponding kinetic ener-

gy is multiplied by four.

Given that the passengers of the vehicle in

our example do not have their seat belts fas-

tened, in the event of a collision the entire

amount of the passengers' kinetic energy will

be only absorbed by the mentioned impact.

Even at speeds of 30 km/h (19 mph) to

50 km/h (30 mph), the forces acting on bod-

ies in a collision can easily exceed one tonne

(1000 kg). At greater speed these forces are

even higher.

Vehicle occupants not wearing seat belts are

not “attached” to the vehicle. In a head-on

collision, they will move forward at the same

speed their vehicle was travelling just before

the impact. This example applies not only to

head-on collisions, but to all accidents and

collisions.

Even at low speeds the forces acting on the

body in a collision are so great that it is not

possible to brace oneself with one's hands. In

a frontal collision, unbelted passengers are

thrown forward and will make violent contact

with the steering wheel, dash panel, wind-

screen or whatever else is in the way

››› Fig. 8.

It is also important for rear passengers to

wear seat belts properly, as they could other-

wise be thrown forward violently through the

vehicle interior in an accident. Passengers in

the rear seats who do not use seat belts en-

danger not only themselves but also the front

occupants ››› Fig. 9.
