Wanted: Crash test with seat belt tucked behind back

smackeen · Nov 17, 2012

Subject says it all.

I have one that is a lap belt only crash test, but wondering if there is one with the seat belt tucked behind back as that would be a different dynamic.

I would think that would cause body to twist somewhat towards the buckle and forward.

That looks like the one that I already found.

I am looking for one where the person has the seat shoulder belt tucked under their arms.

You might have more success finding videos with the belt under the arm if you search for that rather than for belt behind back.

This video, starting at about 1min in, has a child dummy in a mis-used backless booster, lap belt behind the armrests and shoulder belt under the arm.

I got it from this kind of eerily similar thread:

Crash tests don't really tell the whole (or, to be honest, any of the) story- how did the dummy actually fare? Where are the injuries? The big risk, I believe, of the shoulder belt under the arm is that while the lap belt might stay low, with the rider not submarining (while the upper body folds over), the shoulder belt being there essentially insures that there will be a belt going into the soft-belly.
