They have established that the majority of all the serious injuries . to drivers and passengers occur in three major areas. These are: when the driver is thrown against the steering" column; when passengers are thrown forward against hard surfaces inside .the car; or when they are thrown completely but of the car. ... . ' '. With this information in hand, the challenge was to find effective safe guards to reduce these hazards. Dr. R. Arnold Griswold, Chairman of the Committee on Trauma, Amer- ' ican College of Surgeons, has asked: "Why isn't it possible to design a steering wheel which would cush- ' ion the effect of a crash instead of leaving only a post which damages the driver's chest?" Ford's answer to the problem is this new Life- guard steering wheel, mounted on a -shorter steering post The deep-center construction acts as a cushion under impact . . . to decelerate the .driver and give him extra protection against striking the steering column. 1 ' But how about those other crash '. danger factors like hard interior sur faces with practically no "give." ' Here's what Dr. FrankH. Mayfield of the Sub-committee on Traffic In jury Prevention, of the Committee on Trauma,' American College of Sur geons, has to say: ' If. there were some practical ; way to cover the instrument panel with adequate energy-absorbing material, there is not the slightest doubt that head injuries would be lessened or, in many cases prevented." Ford engineers not only found a practical way to pad the instrument panel, but, after hundreds of tests, selected a special expanded plastic material of a composition and struc ture that is unique in its ability to ' absorb shock. It is so effective that an egg dropped from a roof top onto a one-inch thick pad of this material did not break. This new Ford Lifeguard pad ding is available, as an option, for the control panel and sun visors of all 1956 Fords. Now, what about the dangers out side when doors spring open under impact and occupants are thrown from the car? Tabulations of over 1000 accident reports at Cornell Uni versity Medical College show that .20.1 of accident injuries are caused this way. Further, statistics show that the chance of injury is twice as great if a person is thrown from the car. Mr. John O. Moore, Director, Crash Injury Research at Cornell Medical College, makes clear what he thinks: "We have found that passenger ejection from open doors more than doubles chances of serious injury. For double protection against being thrown from a car, ' safety door locks, in addition to - safety belts, are a most signifi cant step forward in passenger protection." Let's take the door latches first. It is possible for conventional, single-grip door latches, strong as they are, to disen eace when the door and doorpost are temporarily , spread apart by a severe jolt The illustration of hands, above, demon strates conven- NEW WAY "ffH tional "single" grip. Fords new Lifeguard double grip door latch, ( standard in all '56 V Fords, works something like the hand, clasp shown here. The "fingers" engage and over lap for a double grip. This gives added protection against doors springing open under impact to help keep you safer within the car. As for seat belts, most of the au thorities agree that seat belts, prop erly made, properly installed and conscientiously worn, could substan tially reduce our nation's annual high way death toll! That's why Ford engineers set out to develop the 1 most effective seat belts ever offered in a car. To keep " . a thrown from your seat in a sudden stop, Ford seat belts are one-third stronger than those required by CAA for commercial aircraft and they're . anchored to a double-reinforced area of the floor structure. They're avafli able for both front and back seats on all '56 Fords, at modest extra cost . Lifeguard Design is not the only thing new in the '56 Ford. . , Youll be delighted with the entirp new Ford trend for '56. It's Thunder-. bird through "and through.. For. not only does the new '56 Ford offer Thunderbird styling . . . but Thunder- - bird power, too! Of course, we're anxious to have -you see the new 1956 Ford . . and to Test Drive, if too.
