6 Mrs. CoLltNs. Ilut tbr the most f)itrt, when lhere is an accident and there's rtn inlant in the back seat, then the infant usually isis it sale to say th('inlant is usually not harmed upon the impact? Mr. Dr:wlv.'Cletrri,v, child restraint systems add salety lbr that child, clearly. Mrs. CoI.r,lNs. I have no further questions Mr' Nielson? Mr. NIrusoN. Who lbrnred the Institute for Injury Reduction and with whom are you afli!ialed'1 Mr. Knu-nv. 'Well, that's explained in detail, Mr. Nielson, in the first attachment to Mr. Cobcn's testimony, but in brief, the founders were plaintiffs'attorneys who have worked in injury cases and have become concerned :rbout the kinds of injuries they've seen and the lack of their necessity. Our membership is open to anyone who believes in the mission of injury reduction. Mr. Nrruso^-. Mr. Sakayan said he concentrates on lapbelt-only iniuries. -Mr. .ls that the only thing you focus on? KsLLev- Oh, no, not at all, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Nrersor.r. What other products or product-related injuries do vou-- ' Mt. Kn,-"u". Well, we're a new organization. We have been lookins at among other issue areas, the rollover propensities of vehiclis. We are looking at motor boat propeller injuries. We re go-ing to be working far a-field in this product-injury area l believe Mr' Sakavan waJreferring to restrai;t syst€m cases. I believe he also does -other product cases, but I'm not really-- Mr. Nln*oN. When a customer buys a vehicle, he accepts a certain amount of risk. He buys insurance for that risk. 14 your view' how much risk is acceptable in society and how mucb should we regulate - -"lvti. to make sure that accidents don't happen. Ku""t". Well. I agree with the mission of the Traffic and <strong>Motor</strong> <strong>Vehicle</strong>s Safeiy Ait of 1966 written and passed by- this Cone."i" .s .-".tded, ani that mission is to take feasible technological lteos within economic reality to reduce motor vehicle crashes-- Mr. NIersor.r. Would you repeat that? Within-- Mr. Knr,rv. I'm not using the exact words of the act-- Mr. Nrnsor':. wjthin economic reality-- Mr. Kru-ev. I believe, in fact, I don't even think the act saJrs economic, I believe it says feasible. Mr. NrnrsoN. Should we consider cost-to-risk ratios as a measure of how much we can require? Mr. Krr,r-rY. I don't know ',vhat cost risk ratio you'd be referring to, Mr. Nielson. I think that the mission of the act is to do the best work possible to encourage the marketplace and the regulatory mechanism to do a\ a) wiih needless deaths and injuries in car crashes, the leading cause of death from birth !o u!"ut age 60 in ifrir "ori"tty, far aid away beyond all other health hqzards includine illnessei. I ihink that mission is well spellec out in the act, m li"e ieeisiative history, and I believe everl'thing we're saying here is -- four--square within that intention. Mr. NinrsoN, No, it's rather well-known that most accidents iniure occupants in'the front seat. Do YQt kno.w what the breakdo'*n mighi be between the accidents and iqiuries to front seat occupants versus back seat passengers? : J
177 Mr. Knlt,rv. I don't know the data offhand, but certainly those are available and l'd be happy to provide thenr to the subc()mmitte€. Mr- Ntriuson- Would you do that? Mr. Knrlrv. C,ertainly. [The inlbrmatiun follows:]
