Book excerpt: Increasing seat belt use is one of the most effective and least costly ways of reducing the lives lost and injuries incurred on the nation's highways each year, yet about one in four drivers and front-seat passengers continues to ride unbuckled. The Transportation Research Board, in response to a congressional request for a study to examine the potential of in-vehicle technologies to increase belt use, formed a panel of 12 experts having expertise in the areas of automotive engineering, design, and regulation; traffic safety and injury prevention; human factors; survey research methods; economics; and technology education and consumer interest. This panel, named the Committee for the Safety Belt Technology Study, examined the potential benefits of technologies designed to increase belt use, determined how drivers view the acceptability of the technologies, and considered whether legislative or regulatory actions are necessary to enable their installation on passenger vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the study sponsor, funded and conducted interviews and focus groups of samples of different belt user groups to learn more about the potential effectiveness and acceptability of technologies ranging from seat belt reminder systems to more aggressive interlock systems, and provided the information collected to the study committee. The committee also supplemented its expertise by holding its second meeting in Dearborn, Michigan, where it met in proprietary sessions with several of the major automobile manufacturers, a key supplier, and a small business inventor of a shifter interlock system to learn of planned new seat belt use technologies as well as about company data concerning their effectiveness and acceptability. The committee's findings and recommendations are presented in this five-chapter report.

Book excerpt: Thanks to decades of research, development and legislation, the seat belt has become as critical to the automobile as the engine. This collection highlights the progression of these essential safety features, providing a complete and thorough perspective through the analysis of both early patents and recent seat belt developments. Seat Belts: The Development of an Essential Safety Feature begins with new material from editor David C. Viano, delving into the surprisingly extensive history of safety belt designs (which began around 1880 with a simple safety harness). The publication then clearly demonstrates that, since this first related patent, great strides have been made in all aspects of seat belt design and performance, with groundbreaking research continuing in the quest for maximum occupant safety. Contents include: Seat Belt Systems and Performance; System Enhancements/Features; Seat Belt Restraint Issues; Alternatives to Manual, Body-Mounted 3-Point Belts; Rear Occupants and Children.
Download or read book Fasten Your Seat Belts written by Lawrence J. Quirk and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-06-19 with total page 645 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The illuminating, comprehensive biography of Bette Davis, one of the most electrifying Hollywood stars ever to grace the silver screen. With a career spanning six decades and more than eighty films, Bette Davis is synonymous with Hollywood legend. From her incandescent performance as Margo Channing in All About Eve, to her terrifying, psychopathic Jane Hudson in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, Davis generated electricity wherever she appeared, whatever she did—and not just on the silver screen. Her personal life was as passionate as her career and was so fiery that it eventually consumed her. In this landmark biography, Lawrence J. Quirk takes us behind the scenes of all of Davis’s movies, from her early unpromising roles, to her commanding presence at the pinnacle of stardom, to her degrading exploitation in horror films at the end of her career. Quirk delves into Davis’s four unhappy marriages, as well as her frosty, manipulative relationships with her three children. Also revealed are her many affairs through the years with leading men, bit players, servicemen during World War II, and, very late in her life, much younger men, who repaid her by using her and deserting her. Intense, volatile, ruled often by her emotions, Bette Davis was described by one critic as "a force of nature that could find no ordinary outlet." Fasten Your Seat Belts brilliantly explores the life and career of Bette Davis to show us the fascinating original she was.

Book excerpt: Fasten Your Seat Belts! is the first history of an airline to be told from the view point of its cabin crew. Through hundreds of interviews, Valerie Lester has encouraged Pan Am's flight attendants to recount their personal dramatic, tragic, comic & heroic stories, many of which deserve to take an honored place in the annals of air transport history. She includes accounts of the heroic deeds of the cabin crews in such incidents as the 1947 crash in the Syrian desert; the terrorism in Cairo & Rome; the last flight from Saigon; the holocaust at Tenerife; & the siege at Karachi. There are tales of the first stewards & their experiences during World War II; Pan Am's brave & resourceful first stewardesses; the first round-the-world flights (both planned & unplanned); the White House Press charters; the advent of jets--& of bigger jets; Desert Storm; & Pan Am's final, heart-rendering flight. Until now, the important role that flight attendants have played in the history of civil aviation has been poorly served. Here, at last, is a book that redresses the balance.
