front of the pelvis so that the angle of the pelvic belt
is within the preferred zone of 30 to 75 degrees to the

A steeper (greater) angle within the preferred zone
is desirable i.e. closer to, but never exceeding 75
degrees. (Fig. C)

consistent with user comfort.
Restraint belt webbing must not be twisted when in
use.
The upper torso restraint belt must fit over the
