Bad Predictions
"I find it difficult to believe that the seat belt can afford the
driver any great amount of protection over and above that which is
available to him through the medium of the safety-type steering wheel
if he has his hands on the wheel and grips the rim sufficiently tight
to take advantage of its energy absorption properties and also takes
advantage of the shock-absorbing action which can be achieved by
correct positioning of the feet and legs."
- General Motors vehicle safety engineer Howard Gandelot, 1954.
