N2  - In automobile accidents the "seat belt syndrome" describes a combination of injuries involving the thoraco-lumbar vertebrae and intraabdominal organs. This may result from wearing of only a pelvic seatbelt. Children are often involved. Analysis of two separate cases showed the "assurance" of children as passengers on the backseat with a pelvic belt to be dangerous and not longer justifiable. Anatomical proportions and posture in childhood necessitate backseats especially designed for children. They should include the possibility of installing a three point safety belt system.<p />  <p>Language: de</p>
