A study was made of the Multidisciplinary Accident Investigation (MDAI) accident reports to determine the effectiveness of lap belts for rear seated occupants. After a thorough and clinical examination of data on injured occupants, it was found: (1) that unrestrained occupants are more likely to sustain injury than restrained occupants, (2) lap belt injuries are more severe in front seated occupants (frequency is less), and (3) the most vulnerable body areas for severe injuries are: Front seated-thoracic contents, abdominal contents and head; rear seated-abdomen and pelvic girdle; all positions-abdominal contents, thoracic contents, major thoracic blood vessels, and head.
