The paper presents a physical model of a passenger hold by the
seatbelt. Based on this model one calculates the total movement of the
passenger during the accident, the passenger’s movement at constant speed,
his deceleration to maximal and minimal values; the passenger’s movement
related to time and the safe values of the required displacement of his chest in
case of accidents at different collision speed and also the chest movement in
the car’s habitat in order to be safe in case of accident.
