ABSTRACT:
A safety system for reducing the risk of injury during a survivable crash of a high-speed passenger vehicle. The safety system includes at least one bulkhead support base mounted to a vehicle within a passenger compartment and a bulkhead panel mounted to a portion of the bulkhead support base. In addition, the device includes energy-absorbing means associated with the bulkhead panel for absorbing the energy of a passenger impacting on the bulkhead panel. In this manner, the system minimizes injury to a passenger striking upon a bulkhead wall or class-divider wall within the vehicle. A triggering system is also provided for electronically activating the safety system when necessary.
