| "I said that before the 1960's, nobody saw any need for seat belts to be fitted, never mind made compulsory in ordinary cars. Which is true." Definitely not true. "In 1946, Dr. C. Hunter Shelden opened a neurological practice at Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, California. In the early 1950s, Shelden made a major contribution to the automotive industry with his idea of retractable seat belts. This came about from his care of the high number of head injuries coming through the emergency room.[6] He investigated the early seat belts whose primitive designs were implicated in these injuries and deaths." |
