Abstract: When passengers are transported in automotive vehicles, in particular, when automotive vehicles are used in motor sports events, there is an increased risk of injury for the occupants of the vehicle. In particular, if the vehicle is hit from the side, rolls over or catches fire, it is therefore necessary to provide the occupants with optimum protection against the consequences of such an accident. To this end the invention provides a safety seat system comprising a shell element which is secured to a vehicle body and has integrally formed therein a foot area, a seat area and a backrest area, the safety seat being displaceable as a whole relative to the vehicle body upon impacts acting thereon. As a result, the passive safety of an occupant is considerably increased and, in particular, the a consequences of an injury are kept to a minimum or are prevented altogether.
