The new SafeGuard FlexPlus school bus seat with SmartFrame Plus technology provides protection for both belted and unbelted passengers, according to IMMI.
The demonstration, which Good Morning America aired on Sunday, involved a semi-truck hitting the side of a school bus to compare the results for belted and unbelted crash dummies on the bus.
In the crash test, belted dummies remained in their seats, while unbelted dummies did not, according to IMMI. One of the unbelted dummies was ejected from the bus through a window, video footage from the test shows.
The demonstration was part of an event called the SafeGuard Seat Belt Safety Summit, which included pupil transportation officials who have real-world experience using lap-shoulder belts on their districts’ school buses.
IMMI demonstrated its new lap-shoulder-belted seat with a high-impact crash test: a semi-truck hitting the side of a school bus.
The IMMI event also showcased the supplier’s new SafeGuard FlexPlus school bus seat with SmartFrame Plus technology, which provides protection for both belted and unbelted passengers, according to IMMI. The seat includes a feature called the TattleTale Indicator, which IMMI said helps in determining whether to replace the seat after a crash.
