In frontal collision, modern cars may be expected to withstand impacts of about 55 km/hr (35 mph) and deform about 60 cm (24 in.) without serious collapse of passenger compartment; loads transmitted to wearer of seat belt are not greatly affected by differences in crushing characteristics of vehicle; one which gives greatly increased progressive resistance to crushing is least desirable; one giving uniform resistance is probably best that is practically attainable; for maximum benefit seat belt characteristics should match crushing of, and space within, vehicle.
