Positioning Belts

WARNING
The angle of the pelvic belt should be within the
preferred zone of 45 to 75 degrees to the
horizontal OR within the optional zone of 30 to 45
degrees to the horizontal.
Steeper side-view pelvic belt angles are especially
important if the pelvic belt is intended to be used
for postural support in addition to occupant
restraint in a frontal crash. Steeper angles will
reduce the tendency for a vertical gap to develop
between the user and the belt due to compliance of
seat cushions and belt movement, thereby reducing
the tendency for the user to slip under the belt and
for the belt to ride up on the soft abdomen during
normal use
Steeper belt angles also reduce the tendency for
upper-torso belts to pull the pelvic belt onto the
abdomen during frontal impact loading.
