根據英國鐵路安全標準委員會(Railway Safety & Standard Board, RSSB)在2007年公佈,2018年10月最新修訂的編號T-201標題為《改善座椅及桌子的設計來減少乘客傷害(Improving the design of seats and tables to minimise passenger injuries)》作出以下幾點建議的結論:
The research led to the development of an anthropomorphic testing device (ATD - crash test dummy) specifically for the rail environment. The ATD was then used to evaluate the benefits of two-point lap belts (as used in commercial aviation) and three-point, lap and diagonal belts (as used in cars).
Accident analysis, sled testing, and computer modelling concluded that neither type of seat belt should be used in rail vehicles. (翻譯:各項測試分析的結論,火車不該使用安全帶⋯) Current crashworthy seats, that are designed to absorb energy in accidents, thus reducing injury to passengers, should be retained.
