He continues,

“It’s like, ‘How do we get past it? How do you, Chris’ — talking to myself — ‘how do you go from point A to point B? How do you learn from your mistakes, turn it into a positive and help other people with the situation, and at the end of the day become the person that you want to be?’

Air Bag Seatbelts by Ford [Very Good Idea!]

Nov6

I found out on Huffington Post that Ford just came out with some new car technology that enhances the safety feature on their Ford Explorer – Seatbelt WITH Airbags! How awesome is that.  Keep reading below …

DETROIT — Air bags have long been mounted in the steering wheel, dashboard and sides of vehicles. Now, they’re in the seat belts.

Ford Motor Co. plans to introduce seat belt-mounted air bags in the back seat of the 2011 Ford Explorer sport utility vehicle, which will hit the market next fall. Ford says it’s the first automaker to mass produce the technology.

The belts have a cylindrical air bag that stretches from the buckle to the shoulder and fits inside a pocket sewn into the belt. The car sends a signal that releases the bag, which inflates more gently than a front air bag, so it’s safer for children.

Srini Sundararajan, the Ford engineer who was chiefly responsible for developing the device, says the wider belts and bags help distribute crash forces across the occupant’s chest, so there’s less chance of serious injury. It also supports the head and neck.

“The top two lifesaving devices today are the seat belt and the air bag. This combines them into one great feature,” Sundararajan said.
