  • Publication number: 20240001825
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a restraint system that operates a method of mitigating an effect of an impulse at the vehicle on a passenger of the vehicle. The restrain system includes an inner shell, an outer shell and a slip device between the inner shell and the outer shell. The outer shell is mounted to the vehicle and supports the inner shell. The inner shell supports the passenger. The slip device is configured to allow a relative movement between the inner shell and the outer shell to thereby reduce a transfer of the impulse received at the outer shell to the inner shell.
