Abstract
To assess the effectiveness of seat belts and the risk of adverse effects a 12-month accident field study was carried out, which covered all non-minor injured belted occupants. The criteria laid down were as comprehensive as possible to permit assessment in each case of whether or not the restraint system had reduced or possibly increased injury severity.
