Submarining Criteria for Child Restraint Systems with Older Children
نویسنده
چکیده
Child Restraint Systems (CRS) help protect children in cars should an accident occur, but they can also lead to injuries. Such injuries can be the consequence of what is called submarining. Submarining consists in a complex motion where the seat belt can load the abdomen and hence cause injuries. CRS are tested using dynamic sled tests during which a sled with a crash test dummy is accelerated and stopped suddenly to mimic a crash. Dummy motion and instrumentation recordings during these tests, were used to produce novel criteria in the assessment of submarining.
