They offer more protection from frontal impacts, while generally providing lesser or no protection to the goalie's back.
Multiple load corridor strategies for frontal, side and rear impacts improve passenger compartment integrity.
Speeds over 100 km/h can be tolerated if the infrastructure is designed to prevent frontal and side impacts.
This has also allowed for improved safety in a frontal impact, due to more front to back engine compartment space being created.
A cross frame under the front seat squab restricts forward movement of the occupantin in a frontal impact.
"There is such a wealth of data that the rear seat provides more protection, from not only frontal impact, but also risk of ejection."
The frontal impact had compressed the forward section of the passenger compartment, jamming the doors on to their locks.
In the case of passenger cars and minibuses, a frontal impact is typical.
This pre-tensions the seat belts and pulls the steering column away from the driver in the event of a frontal impact.
