Inflatable Seatbelts...Really Ford?

Difficult time for the automotive industry. Consumers have less money, less tolerance of the environment, and nothing short of new engineering paradigms can identify any of it. You know, things like inflatable rear seat belts.

The next generation Ford Explorer will be back and front seatbelts that inflate in an accident such as an airbag. But the goal is not to absorb the body by throwing the car, punch in the soft seats and steering wheel. Instead, the airbag simply multiplies the area of ​​the body against the belt during the impact of five times.

The incident is more comfortable on the body, resulting in "head, neck and chest wounds in the back seat passengers, often children and elderly passengers who may be vulnerable to such injuries," said Ford. I can not say that would not sound like I hate the human race (which I do, but children and elderly people are OK with me). However, I can argue with these two:

Ford says that as these belts are naturally more comfortable with the courts should have a positive impact on low-61 percent of rear seat belt use rate in the U.S.

If you need to determine the soft belt that book, I feel that can be done in less than one year in the United States spends 60 milliseconds belt-positioning pads.
