Cushion restraint system is developed by Ford Motor Co which automatically inflates in front of automobile occupant in time interval between vehicle impact and "second collision"; system is based on latest nonmetallic material technology and controlled explosive power units to achieve objectives of actuating cushion in .040 sec and attaining high reliability and sufficient storage life at realistic cost-effectiveness ratio; system underwent extensive sled, barrier, and other development tests which indicate that in experimental situations significant reductions in lap belt loads, in head and chest deceleration, and in rebound rates may be achieved as compared with present lap belt system.
