The manufacturer, sale, or transportation in interstate commerce of seat belts which do not meet the standards will be unlawful. The present report reviews ACIR seat belt usage date for cars well over ten years old up to 1965 models. A method is described which, by a suitable combination of calculation and experiment, permits a drop-weight test of automotive safety belts under accident-like conditions. Because the drop-weight test is simple to carry out and can be reproduced at will, the method might particularly be suited for a standardized dynamic belt test. Suggestions for establishing such a standard are given. (Author)
