A side view pelvic-belt angle of 45° to 75° to the horizontal is preferred to
lower pelvic belt angles.
NOTE 1: Steeper side-view pelvic-belts
angles are especially important if the
pelvic-belt is intended to be used for
postural support in addition to the
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.
NOTE 2: Steeper belt angles also reduce the tendency for the upper torso belt
to pull the pelvic belt onto the abdomen during frontal impact loading
If the wheelchair is not equipped with a belt restraint that complies with WC19
and ISO7176-19 or if the wheelchair user chooses not to use such a device
then a vehicle anchored belt restraint system should be used in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions
Auxiliary wheelchair equipment should be effectively secured to the
wheelchair, or removed from the wheelchair and secured in the vehicle during
transit, whenever possible, so that it does not break free and cause injury to
vehicle occupants in a crash
Wheelchair mounted trays not designed for crash safety should be removed
and stored separately in the vehicle or be secured to the wheelchair but
positioned away from the occupant with energy absorbing padding placed
between the occupant and the tray
In the case that there are any questions regarding using the wheelchair for
seating in a motor vehicle, please contact your Magic Mobility Dealer.
Alterations should not be made to the wheelchair structural and frame parts
without consulting Magic Mobility
