Inflatable seatbelts could be the future
Posted on Nov 5, 09 10:58 AM PDT
The next-generation Ford Explorer will offer something very different that even a luxury car like Bentleys and BMWs won't have - rear seatbelts that will inflate in an accident pretty much the same way as an airbag. The whole idea behind inflatable rear seatbelts would be to multiply the surface area of the belt against your body in an impact by up to 5 times, making a crash more "comfortable." This is no substitute for an airbag, but if it could help save lives in the future, why not?
