POSITIONING BELTS

The angle of the pelvic belt should be within the preferred zone of 45 to
75 degrees to the horizontal or within the optional zone of 30 to 45
degrees to the horizontal.
Steeper side-view pelvic belt angles are especially important if the pelvic
belt is intended to be used for postural support in addition to occupant
restraint in a frontal crash. Steeper angles will reduce the tendency for a
vertical gap to develop between the user and the belt due to compliance
of seat cushions and belt movement, thereby reducing the tendency for
the user to slip under the belt and for the belt to ride up on the soft
abdomen during normal use. Steeper belt angles also reduce the tendency
for upper-torso belts to pull the pelvic belt onto the abdomen during
frontal impact loading.
NOTE– For this procedure, refer to figure 9.
a. The pelvic belt should be worn low across the front
of the pelvis.
b. Position the upper torso belts over the shoulders.
c. The belt(s) should not be held away from the body
by the wheelchair components or parts, including
but not limited to the armrests or wheels.
d. Ensure the belt(s) are not twisted.
e. Adjust belts as firmly as possible being mindful of
user comfort.
