ABSTRACT:
An upper suspended cantilevered public transportation vehicle seat is provided including a passive restraint for absorbing the impact energy of a passenger during an accident or rapid maneuver. The vehicle seat includes a bench and an upstanding back portion, both the seat bench and back portions being supported by a sidewall of the vehicle. The seat bench is securely mounted to the sidewall of the vehicle. The upstanding seat back includes top and bottom portions, the bottom portion of the back depending from the seat bench. The top portion of the back is slidably, or pivotably and slidably mounted to the sidewall of the vehicle. This mounting arrangement allows the back of the cantilevered seat to deflect about the bench to absorb the impact energy of a passenger and prevent or reduce serious injury to the passenger during an accident or rapid maneuver.
