Protecting pregnant women with better seatbelts

Published by at 7:39 am

Car safety experts at Virginia Tech University, funded in part by Ford Motor Company, are trying to develop a computerized crash test model to determine how best to protect pregnant women and their unborn children during a collision.

I suppose pregnancy was not invented for the car age – not sure there is much to be done to protect someone who insists on riding right in front of the steering wheel. But who knows, maybe the researchers will find something good and even if they don’t, well, at least they’re trying. Good for them!
