商品簡介
A collection of papers from a September 1999 meeting, adding to the body of knowledge on the effectiveness of child restraint systems. Papers address injuries to children in accidents, the use of child restraints and protection, test procedures, and biomechanics, using data from observational surveys, insurance files, hospital records, and field studies. Four papers compare various contemporary anthropometric test devices in use to examine current issues such as side impacts and child-airbag interaction. Other topics include patterns of inappropriate restraint in crashes, and mechanisms of lap belt and airbag injuries in children. Distributed by ASME. Lacks a subject index. Annotation c.
