NHTSA complaint: 1994 FORD BRONCO — SEAT BELTS
SEAT BELT DANGERS TO OBESE PASSENGERS. SEAT BELT COMES ACROSS NECK, NOT CHEST. SUDDEN BRAKING PUTS STRAIN ON NECK. COMMENT: CRASH DUMMIES DO NOT RESEMBLE THE MAJORITY OF AMERICAN WOMEN IN SIZE OR SHAPE. MY NECK WAS BRUISED AND THROAT INJURED. THIS WAS JUST FROM HARD BRAKING, NOT A CRASH. UNLESS THE SHOULDER HARNESS IS MADE MORE ADJUSTABLE WOMEN ARE GOING TO BE INJURED NOW THAT MORE STATES ARE GETTING TOUGH ON WEARING BELTS. I WEAR MINE TWISTED IN FRONT TO PLACE THE SHOULDER STRAP IN THE CENTER, OR WITH MY ARM THOUGH THE STRAP. *JB
