Three point seat belt and a good company


 A brief history of the seatbelt can be found in this link.

'In 1959, the Volvo engineer Nils Bohlin developed the modern three-point seat belt. Although the design was patented, the company decided the patent was to be left open, making it available to all vehicle manufacturers to use for free. '

Volvo is a great company to do this.

    Didn't know this. I have never driven a Volvo but always fancied one. Good about making it available for all.

    I was on a seat belt committee when in grad school that was sponsored by the state of Kansas. However, even with all the research I conducted, and the tests I performed, I didn't know that about Volvo. Thanks for this informative post.

    Fascinating! And good for them sharing their invention. I will have to share this with my brother-in-law. He has driven Volvo’s for the last 30 years.
