FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a barrier system that distributes intrusion loads.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Various safety systems may be found in vehicles to provide protection to the passengers of the vehicle. Such systems include air bags and seat belts. Other systems have yet to address protection against rear cargo load intrusion into the passenger compartment of the vehicle, which could jeopardize the safety of passengers in the vehicle.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
