New Safety Devices on Cars RHnff Reduction in Deaths Safety Lock, Seat Belts Cut Toll (Auto Series) Safety Second In A By ROBERT J. SERLING United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (UP) Thousands of American motorists have been saved from serious injury death by two safety devices which the automobile industry began to install on new cars last . hear. One now standard equipment on all new cars is the so-called "safety door lock." These locks are designed to keep doors from popping open in accidents. They cost about 50 cents a door. equipment on new cars, is the safety belt, door locks saved lives and pre vented injuries? "Yes" is the answer from group which should know Cornell University's Medical College's auto crash research injury project. For months the project has been filed by police officials in twelve states.'- These reports provide contrast between accidents in cars equipped with the new safety fea tures, and accidents of compara- statcs. These reports provide contrast between accidents in cars equipped with the new safety fea tures, and accidents of compara ble severity in cars without these features. This is what the record shows: Scat Belts 1. Occupants in cars with safety belts had 60.4 per cent .fewer injuries of all degrees. 2. Occupants with belts had 60 per cent fewer injuries in the moderate - to - fatal injury grade category. . Occupants with belts had few er dangerous-to-fatal grade injur ies, but the difference was "not statistically significant due to in sufficient data. Door Locks 1. Reduced the risk of doors opening during Impact by as much as 33 per cent in non rollover accidents and somewhat less in rollovers. 2. Decreased the risk of occu pant ejection through open doors by up to 49 per cent. 3. Reduced the risk of danger ous and fatal injuries by 29 per cent primarily the result of re taining passengers in me prcieci tive shell of the car. Both belts and door locks are aimed primarily at preventing ejection from cars. Ejection as a major cause of automotive crash injuries came as a surprise to many experts who figured that what happened inside the car was the biggest factor in causing injuries. But the Cornell project since 1953 has studied more than 8,000 separate accidents. It found that ejection is one of the most fre quently reported causes of injury, accounting for 20 per cent of in juries and deaths. The other ma jor injury-causing components: Instrument panel 12 per cent. Steering wheel U per cent. Windshield 11 per cent. Door components six per cent. Some safety experts have criti cized scat belts, claiming that they can cause as many injuries as they prevent and they are not of appreciable value in prevent ing occupants from being thrown forward. The Cornell findings ap pear to refute such charges. Boris Tourin, supervisor of tech nical operations for the Cornell project, says critics of belts "ig nore that their prime responsibil ity is to keep occupants from being thrown out of the car." Lack Of Logic "When someone says belts are not good because they're only 60 per cent effective," adds Tourin, "that's like condemning a serum because it cures only 50 per cent of the patients. We saw one re port denouncing a belt that didn't hold when the car hit a parked steamroller at 40 miles an hour. Actually belts are less effective in accidents involving collision with fixed objects, but such col lisions represent less than 15 per cent of highway accidents." According to Tourin, some pub lished reports on the alleged in effectiveness of belts have in volved inferior belts, manufac tured far below the minimum standards set by scientific tests. "Many inferior belts on the market are giving all belts a bad name," says Tourin. "A good belt will do the job expected of it except in unusually severe acci dents at terrifically high speeds. One of the things we may have to study is whether it wouldn't be a good idea to have a 'breaking force' in a bel t allowing it to snap at a certain forward force to prevent the belt itself from causing injury." Faulty Belts The Cornell project, in its stu dies of belt performance in actual accidents, bluntly reports it has found "increasing evidence of ir responsibility both in belt manu facture and installation." Project director John O. Moore believes all belt manufacturers should be forced to adhere to minimum standards for belt construction, just as electrical equipment man ufacturers now comply with industry-established standards, Moore also recommends: Closeup of Gaza Strip Student Honored Tt'HNKH tSH-tiil-(nr senior nt I'nsi'.idc Union Mitih School luis hmi commended ly llu Na tional Merit Sclutliirsliip rorpont tion for distinguished peiioinuuuT in its nationwide search (or stu dents of unusual ability, lUTonlin to Principal h.
