Very neat (short) show on how school bus seats are made and tested on the science channel, 284 on DirecTv.

Highlights:

Seat fabric has fire resistant vinyl made from Kevlar.

Bolts holding belts on can take up to 150,000 lbs of force.

Seat back has foam padding with 4 types of foam.

35 MPH impact into the back of the seat testing.

6 rams with chains hooked to the seats pull and find that it does not break until it hits 20,000 lbs of pressure.

Yea that was a very cool show. If its the same one I watched it last year on the Discovery Channel. The seat back actually folded of forward and popped back up when the pressure was released.
