Abdominal injury to automobile occupants can be caused by the lap portion of the belt restraint if it is not well deployed below the wearer's iliac spines. A new test device, capable of providing a quantitative measure of lap belt fit is described. Based on the standard 3 dimensional “H-point machine”, the device has been validated with a large number of occupants seated in a wide variety of contemporary passenger cars. Procedures for employing the device are presented.
