Then you know what? Why is the death rate of fat drivers higher than that of thin drivers in traffic accidents? I'll tell you next!
In fact, the key to survival after an accident is the safety performance of the car and the influence of your figure on the performance of seat belts and airbags. A scientific research team in the United States has done relevant collision experiments with dummies, focusing on simulating human body, weight and movements in the collision experiment. Using these data, scientists can analyze the specific situation of human beings in car accidents.
Yes! After more than 80 years of continuous crash testing, we have created a car safety system to help drivers survive car accidents! For example, the seat belt, its role is to transfer the braking force of the car to a relatively solid part of the body, such as the trunk or pelvis, and then disperse the received force to a larger area. At this time, the airbag will also inflate, and the whole process only takes 30 milliseconds. At this time, any change may affect your life and death.
So the key to your survival is how fast the seat belt can slow you down. So that the airbag can be completely inflated. The key to this speed is actually your body shape!
If you are slim, the seat belt will immediately feel the tension, lock it at the moment of collision, and then pull you back, so that the force of your collision with the airbag will be less. On the contrary, if you are fat, your extrusion area will be larger, because there is a thick fat layer between the seat belt and the bone, and the seat belt will be caught in the fat, which will temporarily delay the locking system, and these critical milliseconds have put you in more serious danger!
That's right, this extra squeezing area means that your internal organs will continue to accelerate for a longer time, and then the internal injuries caused by the tension of the seat belt will suddenly stop accelerating, which is much more serious than the internal injuries caused by thin people. Therefore, if a fat man has an accident while driving, the chance of death may be nearly twice that of a thin man.
So I finally summed up a sentence: "Eat less and drive safely."
