Analysis of the lack of restraint with and without belt pretensioning in 40.2 km/h rear impacts
, 2022 In rear impacts, the seat and seatbelt are intended to provide occupant restraint and maintain the occupant on the seat with favorable kinematics and low biomechanical responses. This study analyzes the lack of restraint provided by lap-shoulder belts in
