from the vertical.

The user should be secured with both the lap
belt and the diagonal shoulder belt in order to
reduce the possibility of the head and chest
impacting against vehicle components or other
passengers and their wheelchairs.
The hip belt must rest tight against the body
over the hip bone. It must be fastened so that,
after closing, it runs at an angle of 30° to 75°
from the horizontal when viewed from the side.
A steeper angle is desirable (closer to 75°), but
no higher under any circumstances. The belt
must not be twisted and not run over the per-
son's stomach.
The diagonal shoulder belt must run centrally
over the collarbone (at an angle of max. 55°
from the horizontal), must be a sufficient dis-
tance away from the neck and must lie tightly
against the body.
The belts should lie as firmly as possible
against the body without limiting the user's
comfort. They may not be kept away from the
body by parts of the wheelchair (armrests, side
sections, clothing guard, etc.).
Recommendation:
The diagonal shoulder belt should be connect-
ed directly to the latch plate of the transport
restraint system lap belt, not to the latch plate
provided in the vehicle.
