Custom Seat Belt Webbing

When discussing seat belt safety, often passengers traveling in the back seat of a vehicle are forgotten. Nevertheless, passengers in the back seat of a vehicle are three times more likely to be fatally injured when in an accident.  Worse yet, back seats passengers are usually the most vulnerable in our society: young children and teens.  Younger children, especially, are vulnerable to the seat belt habits of their parents and guardians.

According to the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration, vehicular accidents are the number one cause of teen fatalities.  Despite this, seat belt use of younger passengers fell to 10% to 68% of younger drivers (between 16-24 years of age) in 2016. The National Highway and Traffic Administration also has data to show that, of all the teen vehicular fatalities, half were not wearing seat belts at the time of impact. Of the 883 back seat passengers killed, 8 years and older, seat belts may have saved half of them.

In addition, seat-belt wearing drivers are twice as likely to be killed in an impact when a back seat passengers is not buckled during an accident. This is because, upon impact, any unrestrained person flies free and can crash into anything or anyone.  At times, this involves the unrestrained passenger hitting the driver so hard that he or she is thrust into the windshield or steering wheel. Other times, the unrestrained passenger hits the driver in the head, causing a fatal injury.
