j Reactions to Safety Belts
Vary; Popularity Grows
By Mary Lou Chapman
We brought up the subject of safety belts before a group of
women touring the proving grounds of a large automotive com
! pany recently.
i The reactions were varied. Most of them were favorable.
i The belts, shown on the ears there, were of the lap type that
i buckle over the hip and are at- -
tached to a metal bar behind the
! seat which, in turn, is held
firmly to the

Mt« Chapman her tWO etlil |
I dren, aged 10 and 12. *Td feel :
i better about them if they were
i securely strapped onto the sect,"
i she said. “Several times when
] they were in the car. I've had to
come to an abrupt stop, and we
all had some bruises. I’d be in
terested in'trying the belts."
Husband I.ikes Belts
In one family, the husband
was completely sold on the idea.!
He had installed four in his fam- 1
; ily car. The w ife was hesitant at j
■ first, but after using safety belts j
on a cross country trip, she said !
she became quite used to them I
and wouldn't want to ride with
out one in the future.
"At first 1 was leery of being
restrained." she said. “Then I
began to feel a sense of security
j with it on When we took a turn,
, I didn’t slide, but was held firmly
■ in place. My posture was better,
and 1 felt more rested at the end |
of the trip ” j
The family's two sons, aged 9j
and 17, liked the idea of safety)
I belts. They took light away to:
■ u: rig them and now it's a mat- j
ter of habit." their father said. ‘
“They gel in and put them I
( right on.”
The 17 year-old son faltered]
only once in his admiration for,
the safety belt idea, This Was
: when a girl he was dating!
I scorned to use them in his fanu- !
i ly’s car. Then, oddly enough.)
, she was involved in a minor
j accident reveral weeks later,
, and came out with only a few
i scratches. Hut apparently the •
: accident convinced her, and
after that, -tv used the safety
• bed in the boy's c ar without any j
. objection.
j The same family is on inti-1
mate terms with a four-year-old
girl, " the jumping-jack type,"
said the father. She loves the
belts and uses them enthusiasti
cally, proudly buckling herself
in every time she rides with
them. The father added: “She
thinks it’s fun . . . maybe the
space ship games have influ
enced her. She sit* on the seat
all ready to go, and tells every
body else to put on Ibeir safety
i belt.”
Objections Few j
A few women didn’t like
safety belts. One objected to the
belt wrinkling her skirt. “If I
wore straight skirts, it wouldn’t
matter so much," she said, “but
I prefer full skirts.”
This is a natural feminine re
action. We thought the same
things once. too. But a survey we
conducted on this point showed
conclusively that women’s
clothes are not wrinkled ai all
when the safety belt is adjusted
properly. We tried this test on
! all types of women’s clothes—
i even formal wear.
Another woman objected to
! the weight of the buckle on her
lap. When she was shown how
to wear the safety belt—tight
against her body so that the
buckle does not bounce - she
thought is was more comfort
able.
Roy D. Haeusler, automotive
safety engineer ai Chrysler Cor
iporation. commented that
■ youngsters generally seem eager
; to adopt the use of safety belts
[ “ft’s the older folks who are
! hard to convince because they
"have been driving for years
1 without them.” Haeusler -aia
j He pointed out that people who
| have belts in their cars should
i use them whenever they drive.
' Some people have had cars
! equipped with seat belts just for
| long trips,” he added. 'We feel
| that this is the wrong approach
i .„if you have a set of belts in
■ stalled, always wear them.’’
