Kinetic Energy Press Announces Publication Of Major New Textbook On Forensic Analysis Of Seat Belt Systems
 Most
individuals involved in accident reconstruction or traffic crash
litigation know how frustrating it can be to gather all the information
needed for a detailed examination of seat belt issues associated
with a given collision. The complexity of such a situation can
be overwhelming, especially since a thorough analysis requires
technical expertise, system specification details, and knowledge
of any applicable product recalls. Compiling all the needed data
can take days or weeks, providing that one really knows where
to look for everything!
Not anymore,
though! Forensic Analysis of Seat Belts, by Donald
J. Felicella, ISBN 0-9716634-5-9, is the new book release from
Kinetic Energy Press that will answer your questions when you
really need to know something important about seat belts.
This is an
indispensable book for anyone involved in crash investigation
or litigation. It has it all - 94 photos and charts in crystal
clear resolution illustrating precisely what is important in seat
belt analysis - plus a complete guide to forensic examination
and analysis of seat belt systems. Not to mention up-to-date lists
of all seat belt-related product recalls going back to 1988! This
book even provides the historical development of seat belts between
1855 and 2003.
 Mr.
Felicella's list of topics is impressive:
- Introduction
and history of seat belts
- Function
of seat belts in a collision
- Occupant
kinematics
- Nomenclature
- Exterior
vehicle documentation
- Interior
vehicle documentation
- Inspection
of the seat belt system
- Injury
correlation
- Malfunctions,
problems, and litigation
- Seat belt
recalls and notices
- Important
references, including FMVSS 209 & 210
The two sample
photos below, taken from Forensic Analysis of Seat Belts, demonstrate
how clearly the book uses its lavish illustrations to assist the
reader in capturing important information.
When considering
the amazing detail presented in the photographs and charts, this
book is easily worth its cost just on the basis of its illustrations
alone! Any expert or attorney needing to convince a judge or jury
of the value of seat belt evidence will find the illustrations
in this textbook invaluable as a handy reference.
As always,
Kinetic Energy Press provides quality technical books at significant
savings due to its choice of CD-ROM as the primary publishing
media. Cost for the CD-ROM version of this book (with full color
illustrations!) is an amazing $29.99 U.S. plus S&H. If desired,
a printed copy of the book on high-quality paper and with a comb
binding can be included with the CD-ROM version for a total of
$39.99 plus S&H.
