ABSTRACT:
A collision safety structure is provided to decrease the extent of injuries exerted to occupants in vehicle accidents. The collision safety structure utilizes a diagonally positioned beam to guide buckling in a desired direction during impact and acts as an energy absorber in high speed impacts. The diagonally positioned beam directs a counterclockwise motion to the occupant to counteract a clockwise motion which typically occurs in a head on collision. By guiding the buckling effect of the seat and occupant on impact, an occupant is preserved from the crash scene eliminating lower head and thorax accelerations, thus lower perils of injuries in a cost effective and feasible way.
