Editing Seat belt (section)

===Inflatable===
The inflatable seat belt was invented by Donald Lewis and tested at the Automotive Products Division of [[Allied Chemical Corporation]].<ref>{{patent |U.S. |3841654}}</ref> Inflatable seat belts have tubular inflatable bladders contained within an outer cover. When a crash occurs, the bladder inflates with gas to increase the area of the restraint contacting the occupant and also shortening the length of the restraint to tighten the belt around the occupant, improving the protection.<ref>{{cite news|last=Silke |first=Sharon |url= https://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/2009-11-05-ford-inflatable-seat-belts_N.htm |title=Ford says inflatable seat belt improves safety, comfort, too |newspaper=USA Today |date=2009-11-06 |access-date=2011-04-03 }}</ref> The inflatable sections may be shoulder-only or lap and shoulder. The system supports the head during the crash better than a web-only belt. It also provides side impact protection. In 2013, Ford began offering rear-seat inflatable seat belts on a limited set of models, such as the [[Ford Explorer|Explorer]] and [[Ford Flex|Flex]].<ref name=cr2013>{{cite journal |date=April 2013 |title=Cool features you can buy now |journal=Consumer Reports |page=9 }}</ref>
