Since 1959, seat belts with shoulder harnesses have been a common features in cars, and in the late 1970s, auto manufacturers were required to install only shoulder harnesses and seat backs designed to provide maximum, multi-point safety protections for driver and passengers. After 30 years, however, seatbelts and seat backs often fail during accidents, or cause additional injuries because of design defects.
