Schroth ASM Technology
|
 |
| The patented SCHROTH asmŽ system offers a unique safety
advantage for 4-point harnesses. asmŽ is the acronym for anti submarining.
The risk of submarining (sliding underneath the lap belt), a well known
phenomenon during frontal impacts, is significantly reduced by the asmŽ
safety system. The energy converter is located in the inboard shoulder belt.
Therefore make sure you purchase left and/or right harnesses. Severe
injuries or death are possible using 4-point harnesses without the SCHROTH
asmŽ safety system or an anti-sub strap. SCHROTH harnesses designed for use
on public roads (FE models) or those likely to be used as 4-points come with
the asmŽ safety system. The performance of the SCHROTH asmŽ safety system
has also been tested in conjunction with airbags. However newly developed
Head And Neck Supports (HANS) further reduce head deceleration and neck
bending. The asmŽ system is not compatible with such devices. Therefore all
SCHROTH models likely to be used with such additional devices come without
the asmŽ system.SCHROTH recommends the HANS use with a SCHROTH HANS
compatible restraint (H-indicated models). Non-asmŽ racing harnesses must
always be worn with the anti-sub strap! |
