13.1.2 Safety belt
If the user is transported in his wheelchair, it is necessary to use a car safety
belt to secure the wheelchair user.
Positioning of the car safety belts for wheelchair users.
It is very important to use the safety belt in the right angles according to the
wheelchair user. The angle for the pelvis part (2) of the safety belt must be in
angle of 30- 75 ° with the horizontal plane. (See picture below). Also, the side
angle should stay between the vertical planes to maximum of 15° angle with
the vertical plane. (See picture below).
The wheelchair has been crash tested
using 4-point tie down bel. We advise you to use a similar system or a system
that is equally specified.
