Time.com People Fortune EW John Zarella: Automatic seatbelt safety John Zarrella John Zarrella is CNN's Miami bureau chief. Q: Why were automatic seatbelts discontinued in most cars? ZARRELLA: Automakers, by federal law, were required to put in a passive restraint system. The passive restraint system put in in the late 1980s and in the early part of the 90s in many vehicles, up to about 30 million, was this passive restraint system where the shoulder harness automatically comes into place when you sit down and turn on the ignition. But then you need to buckle the lap belt. After airbags came into existence, it was at that time that the auto manufacturers who had opted for these automatic shoulder belts began to stop installing those in the vehicles. ALSO U.S. safety group: More seat belt enforcement needed Q: What are the dangers of not wearing the lap belt of an automatic seatbelt? ZARRELLA: According to all of the medical and safety experts that we have talked to, not buckling that lap belt portion of the restraint is basically as good as not wearing the belt at all. What happens in many instances is that in these types of crashes these particular vehicles in question do not have an air bag, so if you don't have that lap belt portion, you can actually slide down on impact underneath the steering wheel. You can be decapitated by the shoulder belt as it comes up across your neck. There is a risk of blowing out your heart, lacerating the liver, and they say that because of a woman's anatomy, women who don't wear that lap belt are even at greater risk than men who don't wear it.

Even if your new English languge learners attended school for the entire year, it is possible these important lessons were not understood. Teach about Summer Safety Summertime should be a relaxing, fun time for your students. However, many children are less supervised in the summer. There are many hazards of which parents of our students may not be aware. Before your summer session ends, teach your students and their parents about special safety issues which are unique to the summer and review those which they may have missed during the school year. 1.

S A F E T Y S T Seatbelt Safety To ensure your safety and that of your passengers make sure everyone is safely fastened and their seatbelts are properly adjusted. The seatbelt straps should go across your lower abdomen and shoulder. The shoulder strap should not be placed behind you nor should it run across your neck. To all those who have children that need to ride in car seats do not allow them to ride in the front of the vehicle. In a study conducted by Bisnar and Chase, it has been approximated that the leading cause of death in people under 35 is car accidents. As a whole, there are 40,000 deaths each year that are related to car accidents. "This number could be reduced by half if only people would be willing to wear their seatbelts at all times while the vehicle is in motion." According to state law, it is mandatory for all ages to wear a seatbelt, at all times, while riding in an automobile. Helmet Safety There are many different kinds of helmets and most of them are of good quality. When purchasing your helmet make sure it fits your head properly. Do not leave your helmet in the heat for long periods of time because it will become brittle and less able to protect your head from an impact. Also, if you have suffered a fall and hit your head with your helmet on, the next time you fall your helmet is less able to protect you because the more times your helmet collides with the ground it loses the cohesion that keeps the helmet intact during impact.

Seatbelt Safety Tips Always wear a safety belt while driving or riding in a vehicle. Never use a safety belt to restrain more than one person. Children 12 and under should always be properly restrained in the rear seats. Infants under 1 year and weighing less than 20 pounds should be carried in rear-facing child safety seats in the rear seat. Never place rear-facing safety seats in the front passenger seat if the vehicle is equipped with an activated passenger's airbag. Children up to 4 years of age and weighing between 20 and 40 pounds should be carried properly restrained in child safety seats. Never allow children (or any occupant) to slide the shoulder belt behind them. Seats should be moved as far back as practical from airbags.

AlliedSignal Introduces New Fiber To Boost Seatbelt Safety COLONIAL HEIGHTS, Va.(BUSINESS WIRE)July 6, 1999 AlliedSignal Inc. today introduced a new automotive seatbelt fiber (called Securus(TM) fiber) to help increase occupant safety and lower safety-restraint system costs. Seatbelt fabric made with patented Securus fiber is designed to work in conjunction with the airbag in a collision to enhance restraint of occupants of a broad range of body types - including smaller women and children. The unique fiber replaces the mechanical load-limiting device in constant-force retractors (CFRs) used in some newer model cars, which have been instrumental in securing the five star protection rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The company projects sales of $10 million next year, increasing to $100 million annually in five years. Commercial shipping of the fiber is slated to begin next month. The new fiber is AlliedSignal's response to the industry's decade-long search for seatbelts that work more safely with decelerating airbags in a vehicle crash, according to Fred Festa, Vice President and General Manager of the company's Performance Fibers business. ``We call Securus(TM) fiber the `smart response' fiber,'' said Greg Rogowski, Marketing Manager for the business. Seatbelts made with patented Securus fiber deliver a three-step restraint reaction during a crash. First, they hold occupants in position at impact. Then, the fibers relax or stretch as needed to limit the force imposed on the occupant, complementing the deflating action of the airbag and allowing the occupants' bodies to decelerate. Finally, their high-strength comes back into play, helping to prevent impact with dashboard, steering wheel or windshield.

Methodist Rehabilitation Center’s injury prevention program, is aimed at young children and teenagers and tries to prevent spinal cord, brain and other traumatic injuries by focusing on bicycle, automobile, firearm, boat, swimming and diving safety. Physicians and staff at the Jackson hospital work closely with firefighters, police officers, paramedics and other health care workers to encourage children to always think first about safety and injury prevention. Think First speakers volunteer their time to encourage children and teens to always wear seat belts when driving, helmets when riding bicycles or motorcycles and to think about what they’re doing before they get into any potentially dangerous situation. “Students are very responsive when they hear from accident victims, physical therapists, paramedics, physicians and other Think First speakers,” said Think First coordinator Lauren Fairburn. “They really seem to understand the message and we hope they learn to think first about safety and injury prevention.” Sammy Safety , a certified safety superhero, is also part of the Think First team. Sammy and his Methodist Rehab coworkers visit schools and work with fire and police officers to promote the Sammy Safety Seat Belt Patrol and the Sammy Safety Boat Patrol.

73. Seatbelt Enforcement The seatbelt safety campaign is part of Cornell Police's ongoing effortsto improve traffic safety on campus. The department has http://www.news.cornell.edu/Chronicle/02/4.25.02/seatbelt.html

CUP steps up seatbelt law enforcement Cornell University Police will have "zero tolerance" for people who don't wear their seatbelts during an enforcement campaign on campus through Friday, April 26. Officers will conduct random road checks and issue tickets to drivers and passengers who are not "buckled up." This action follows an awareness campaign by Cornell Police for the past two weeks, during which they handed out warning brochures to motorists. Special emphasis will be placed on Cornell employees driving and riding in university-owned vehicles, said Sgt. Charles Howard, coordinator of traffic enforcement activities. Cornell Police are working with the Department of Risk Management and Insurance to ensure that people traveling in the approximately 1,000 Cornell-owned vehicles are traveling safely. Cornell Police conducted a survey in April 2001 that showed occupants of clearly identifiable Cornell-owned vehicles had a seatbelt compliance rate of only 41 percent, Howard said. Other campus drivers and occupants had a compliance rate of 69 percent, below the New York state average of 77 percent. "We learned that too many people believe they do not need to wear seatbelts during short trips on campus," Howard said. "We want to educate people that accidents can happen anytime and anywhere."

Florida Police Links Crime Prevention Traffic Central Home Safety Belts The Florida Police Chiefs Association and the National Safety Belt Coalition along with Stay Alive From Education (S.A.F.E.) are pleased to provide you with the following safe driving information which will have a lifesaving impact on you and your children. WHY WEAR A SAFETY BELT? To understand the value of safety belts and child safety seat use, it's important to understand some of the dynamics of a traffic crash. Every motor vehicle crash is actually comprised of three collisions. The first collision is known as the car's collision, which causes the car to buckle and bend as it hits something and comes to an abrupt stop. This occurs in approximately one-tenth of a second. The crushing of the front end absorbs some of the force of the crash and cushions the rest of the car. As a result, the passenger compartment comes to a more gradual stop than the front of the car. The second collision occurs as the car's occupants hit some part of the vehicle. At the moment of impact, unbelted occupants are still traveling at the vehicle's original speed. Just after the vehicle comes to a complete stop, these unbelted occupants will slam into the steering wheel, the windshield, or some other part of the vehicle's interion. This is the human collision. Another form of human collision is the person-to-person impact. Many serious injuries are caused by unbelted occupants colliding with eachother. In a crash, occupants tend to move toward the point of impact, not away from it. People in the front seat are often struck by unbelted rear-seat passengers who have become high-speed projectiles.

September 25, 1995 Nebraska FACE Investigation 95NE025 Construction Worker Crushed under Skid Steer Loader Bucket. SUMMARY: A 30 year-old carpenter was crushed to death beneath a skid steer loader he was operating. The victim was operating a skid-steer loader he had never been trained on and it appears that in the process of trying to figure out how to operate it, he lowered the bucket while he was standing in front of the machine. He was found, crushed under the bucket, by a co-worker. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The Nebraska Department of Labor (NDOL) Investigator concluded that to prevent future similar occurrences employers and employees should: Ensure that safety devices and physical safeguards on equipment are never bypassed or removed. Establish a comprehensive training program for all personnel operating specialized machinery to include "hand-on" training and documentation. Establish and enforce a thorough vehicle maintenance and inspection program. PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: The goal of the workplace investigation is to prevent work-related deaths or injuries in the future by a study of the working environment, the worker, the task the worker was performing, the tools the worker was using, and the role of management in controlling how these factors interact.
