"Conclusions
- There is no overall net safety benefit associated with the fitting of two-point passenger restraints to trains. Two-point passenger restraints should therefore not be fitted to rail vehicles.
- Fitting two-point restraints would, in the majority of situations, increase passenger injuries in a crash situation.
- Predicted passenger injury outcomes for the restrained passenger are higher than for the un-restrained passenger in the majority of cases tested.
- Using crashworthy seat design to constrain passengers offers better overall protection than installing two-point restraints.
