TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Seat belt effectiveness: case examples from real-world crash investigations JO - Journal of trauma A1 - Sherman, Harold W. A1 - Huelke, Donald F. SP - 750 EP - 753 VL - 27 IS - 7 N2 - Although it may be well known that the lap-shoulder belts are effective in reducing occupant injury in motor vehicle crashes, hardly ever have actual examples been presented in the medical literature. This paper presents case histories of selected severe crashes in which one or more of the occupants were lap-shoulder belted. Environmental and vehicular details, as well as injury descriptions, are presented along with comments. LA - SN - 0022-5282 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
