The force required to break aviation safety belts used in private aircraft was determined in order to correlate this force with the trauma recorded in the reports of private aircraft crashes. The force was determined by using a new method of testing which closely simulates the conditions believed to exist in actual aircraft crashes. The results indicate that in private aircraft crashes man has frequently survived impact loads of 2500 pounds with no signs or symptoms of injury. (Author)
