  • Title: Mid-ileal stricture and spinal injury sustained by a 7 year old child restrained by a lap seat belt involved in a motor vehicle accident.
    Author: Sripathi V, King PA.
    Journal: Aust N Z J Surg; 1991 Aug; 61(8):640-1. PubMed ID: 1867619.
    Abstract:
    Lap belts are a feature of the middle seat occupant in the rear seat of most Australian family cars. Without the provision of a child harness, they are inadequate to restrain children under eight years of age. We report a motor vehicle accident involving a seven year old child wearing an adult lap belt which resulted in an ileal stricture and a potentially unstable distraction injury of the lumbar spine.
