The legacy of the seat belt
The seat belt has become a key part of our lives, a strap of nylon webbing that has saved many lives in the years since they've been embedded into the mainstream.
The fabric that seat belts are made out of is called webbing, referring to the weaving process. Often made of synthetic materials like nylon and polyester, the tensile strength of a seat belt has to meet specific standards.
One benefit of this highly regulated material is that most problems have been solved, and much research has been done into edge cases.
