-
Whenever possible the occupied wheelchair shall be located in a
forward-facing configuration and secured by the tie downs in
accordance with the WTORS (wheelchair tie down and occupant-
restraint system) manufacturer’s instructions.
-
This wheelchair is suitable for use in vehicles and has met the
performance requirements for travelling forwards-facing in frontal
impact conditions. Its use in other configurations within a vehicle
has not been tested.
-
The wheelchair has been dynamically tested in a forward-facing
orientation with the ATD (anthropomorphic test device) restrained by
both pelvic and upper torso belts.
-
Both pelvic and upper torso belts should be used to reduce the
possibility of head and chest impacts with vehicle components.
-
When possible, other auxiliary wheelchair equipment should be
either secured to the wheelchair or removed from the wheelchair and
secured in the vehicle during transit, so that it does not break free
and cause injury to vehicle occupants in the event of a collision.
-
The wheelchair should be inspected by a manufacturer’s
representative before reuse following involvement in any type of
vehicle impact.
