11.3 Crash testing on the SALSA
A representative SALSA wheelchair has been tested in accordance
with the dynamic performance requirements specified in ISO
7176-19:2001 "Wheeled Mobility Devices for use in Motor Vehicles"
using an Q straint 6 point strap restraint system with two straps at
the rear which conform to ISO 10542 or SAE J2249 and was used in
accordance with the WTORS manufacturer's instructions.
The Q straint restraint system was used for these tests. However
other restraint systems can be used as long as they conform to ISO
10542 or SAE J2249 and are used in accordance with the WTORS
manufacturer's instructions. They must also be checked to make sure
that they are sufficiently specified for the weight of the wheelchair
and rider
