Passengers not wearing seat belts risk fatal injuries in the event of an accident. Fig. 205 The vehicle crashes against the wall The physical principles involved in a frontal collision are relatively simple: Both the moving vehicle and the passengers possess energy, which Fig. 206 A driver not is known as “kinetic energy” ⇒ page 195, fig. 204. The amount of wearing a seat belt can “kinetic energy” depends on the speed of the vehicle and the weight be thrown forwards of the vehicle and passengers. The higher the speed and the greater the weight, the more energy there is to be absorbed in an accident. The most significant factor, however, is the speed of the vehicle. If the speed doubles from 25 km/h to 50 km/h, for example, the kinetic energy increases by a factor of four. Because these passengers are not restrained by seat belts, the entire amount of kinetic energy has to be absorbed at the point of impact ⇒ fig. 205. This would result in serious or potentially fatal injury. Fig. 207 A rear passenger not wearing Even at urban speeds of 30 km/h to 50 km/h, the forces acting on the a seat belt can be occupants in a collision can reach the equivalent of 1 ton (1000 kg) thrown forwards or more. At greater speed these forces are even higher. A rule of thumb: if the speed doubles, the forces increase by a factor of four.In a frontal collision, unbelted passengers will be thrown forwards Passengers who do not wear seat belts are not “attached” to the and make violent contact with the steering wheel, dashboard, wind- vehicle. In a frontal collision they will continue to move forward at screen, etc ⇒ fig. 206. Passengers not wearing their belts risk being the speed their car was travelling just before the impact.thrown out of the car, resulting in potentially fatal injuries. The common belief that occupants can brace their weight with their hands in a minor collision is false. Even at low speeds the forces acting on the body in a collision are so great that it is not possible to hold yourself in the seat.
