Seatbelts

The scared boy on the roller coaster made sure his seatbelt was across his body. 

Sally adjusts her seatbelt as you turn down Pennsylvania Avenue. I can see where this is heading. A 2-D plane cuts a 3-D space into two pieces. On the card, she sketches an upper space and a lower space divided by a plane. 

So fasten your seatbelts, because some of you may be in for a bumpy ride as we drive over some popular misconceptions about chemicals. 

Several explosive devices have recently been developed to enhance general safety. Some examples are air bags which protect the driver from injury in car collisions, and seatbelt tensioners which, when tied up with the action of an air bag, hold the driver to the seat. Explosives are also used as a source of shock waves in medical equipment for breaking up gall stones in a patient s body. In yet another application, explosives are used to generate shock waves in a patient s body water which are then focused on a kidney stone to break it.

She felt the strain of the seatbelt crushing her chest and the impact of the airbag hit her in the face like a punch. Did the car finally stop . . . Was she dead . . . She could feel the blood running down her face and dripping onto her shirt. 

To complicate matters, the sickness of persons and the sickness of populations represent very different problems, for patients, physicians, and politicians. Private health measures that benefit the individual may help or harm the community. Public health measures that benefit the community may help or harm the individual. The potential conflict between private health and public health is an integral part of the tension between civil society and the state. In his paper Sick Individuals and Sick Populations, epidemiologist Geoffrey Rose notes that a preventive measure which brings much benefit to the population offers little to each participating individual. This has been the history of public health—of immunization, the wearing of seatbelts, and now the attempt to change various life-style characteristics. Of enormous potential importance to the population as a whole, these measures offer very little—particularly in the short term—to each individual. 

Blomquist (1979) studied the decision to wear seatbelts, which he interpreted as a tradeoff between risk and time. Riders can purchase greater safety at the expense of the time it takes to fasten the belt. Blomquist measured this delay, assigned it a monetary value based on earnings, and multiplied it by the inverse of the change in probability of death to arrive at a final number. But, as most other observers have noted, it is unlikely that time, rather than effort, is the chief cost of seatbelt use. Moreover, it is not apparent why the value of time at work... 

Seatbelt assemblies or seatbelt modules include the straps, webbing, buckles, adjusting mechanisms, fasteners, and related hardware designed to secure people in a vehicle to minimize risk of harm in a collision. Most modules are mechanical, but some contain a pyrotechnic or compressed gas seatbelt pretensioner which, in an emergency, forces the retractor to take up any slack in the seatbelt. 

Metal-plastic hybrid constructions have been around for about 5 years now. The upper seatbelt tensioner construction consists of about five to ten sheet metal elements. A plastic fan blade shroud has been installed at the bottom.

Although several ASEAN countries have a law requiring the use of a seatbelt for passengers and drivers in the front seat, in several of them do not wear it and many vehicles do not even have seatbelts at all (e.g. Indonesia, Cambodia and Laos).
