ABSTRACT:
A shoulder strap for the driver of an automotive vehicle is used as a safety device for automatically braking the vehicle, de-energizing the ignition circuit and energizing a warning signal in the event the driver slumps in his seat because of sickness, injury, sleepiness, unconsciousness, or other incapacitating conditions rendering him incapable of properly operating the vehicle. Certain components of the vehicle are controlled whenever the slumping is sufficient to apply tension to the strap against the action of a spring connected with the strap. An extension of the strap beyond the operator's shoulder is readily accessible to passengers for actuation in the event they notice any tendency by the operator to become incapacitated, thereby preventing accidents and consequent injury or death to the occupants and others outside the vehicle.
