Abstract
A safety belt is disclosed which is suitable for use in vehicles to hold occupants in the vehicles in the event of a collision. It possesses elasticity and has a generally round cross-sectional shape in those portions of the belt which are adapted to come in contact with the occupant during a collision. The round cross-sectional shape and elasticity enable the belt to deform slightly when a person's body is thrown against it thereby reducing the danger of constriction damage to the person's body. The round cross-sectional shape also insures that the belt is less likely to be twisted into a shape which would jam automatic belt retractors and their associated guides.
