The Chevrolet Corvette Seat Belt is constructed to hold the driver and passenger in place during a sudden stop or crash, reducing dramatically the potential for injury or ejection. Introduced as optional equipment in the 1950s and required by law in the 1960s, this Seat Belt in every Chevrolet sports car is based on four parts that work in coordination: tough polyester webbing that can withstand more than 28 kN, a spring-loaded retractor that allows free movement and then locks on impact, a sturdy metal tongue and buckle that snaps it in place and holds securely, and releases instantly when pressed. Early racing circles were skeptical of belts, wishing to jump from burning cars, but by 1954 governing bodies mandated compliance, paving the way for regular use in every Corvette cockpit. Today each Seat Belt works in concert with airbags by holding occupants in the correct position, distributing crash forces throughout the chest and hips, and preventing impact with the windshield or complete ejection. While style updates have kept up with successive generations of Corvette, the primary goal of the Seat Belt in every Chevrolet performance machine has been the same. And every Seat Belt continues to provide primary, reliable restraint.
