Discussion:
seatbelt ergonomics?

No doubt a dirty word....
Does anyone have any US. legal documentation regarding old ratchet style seatbelts used on lift trucks and back injuries from prolonged use?
I sent an e-mail to a professor that did a study for the CDC but he's been shy.

Thanks

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
