Such a bold assertion is based on Nils Bohlin's
development of the three-point safety belt. Lap belts were mostly used by race car drivers at that time,
and were only available to motoring public as an option, and a not very
popular one at that. A noted entrepreneur in the semiconductor
industry and Electronic Design Automation, Fairbairn recently served
as chairman of the Board of Directors of Verisity, Ltd.

Applying the concepts of pilot restraint in the cockpit of a plane, Bohlin
engineered a system combating 'decelerative forces,' such as the effect of
abrupt stops characteristic in a car crash.

3-Point Seat Belt, a Volvo Safety Development, Has Saved Thousands of Lives

IRVINE, Calif. No single safety device has saved
more lives than the 3-point safety belt. Volvo's
unique design allowed for the single belt to 'slip' through the center
