| 2004 | SEAT BELTS | WHEN I GET IN MY VEHICLE TO DRIVE I AM NOT BEING PROTECTED PROPERLY BY MY SEAT BELT EQUIPMENT. THERE IS NO FAIL SAFE DESIGN TO PREVENT INJURY OR DEATH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO MOVE IN THE EVENT OF HUMAN ERROR. DESIGN DIRECTLY ALLOWS HUMAN ERROR TO DISABLE THE ENTIRE SEAT BELT DEVICE. EVEN IN THE EVENT OF A PRIMARY DESIGN FAILURE THERE IS NO BACK UP. THE RISK OF INJURY AND DEATH IS EXPONENTIAL BASED ON POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHIC. THIS IS A SERIOUS FLAW IN SAFETY DESIGN FOR A PRODUCT THAT IS USED BY THE PUBLIC AND IS QUITE CONTRARY TO THE METHODS EMPLOYED BY A THEME PARK AS ONE EXAMPLE WHICH CONTAIN OTHER FORMS OF TRANSPORTATION AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. EVENTS: 1. I ENTER MY VEHICLE 2. I TURN ON IGNITION. 3. I PLACE VEHICLE IN DRIVE. 4. I OPERATE THE VEHICLE TO MY DESTINATION. FAILURE OCCURS 20% OF THE TIME IF I DO NOT NOTICE THE SEAT BELT ALARM OR IF I FORGET TO FASTEN MY SEAT BELT. FAILURE OF SEAT BELT DEVICE TO PROTECT ME IN THE EVENT I FORGET RESULTS IN POSSIBLE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE. FOR WHATEVER REASON I SOMETIMES DO NOT NOTICE THE SEAT BELT ALARM. FOR WHATEVER REASON I SOMETIMES FORGET TO FASTEN MY SEAT BELT. FOR WHATEVER REASON MY VEHICLE DESIGN ALLOWS ME TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE UNSAFELY PUTTING ME AND OTHERS AT RISK. CORRECTIVE ACTION. WRITING THIS COMPLAINT. *TR |
