Seat belts save lives but can injure if worn wrong
New York surgeon Dr. Elliott Hurwitz told the 51st congress of the American College of Surgeons that belt related injuries remain rare but possible. He described a spleen or diaphragm rupture linked to belts and urged proper fitting with shoulder harness. Harvard neurosurgeon Dr. H Thomas Ballantine Jr. echoed the warning, noting about 18 000 U S head injury deaths in 1963 could have been prevented with correctly worn belts.
