Claim: Visuals of Muslims obstructing an Ambedkar Jayanthi celebration by pelting bricks and stones (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-04-19)
Evidence (2017-04-21): On Thursday, communal clashes took place over the ‘Shobhayatra’ of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar in Muslim-majority Sadak Dudhli village (police station Janakpur) adjacent to Saharanpur city in Western UP. There were incidents of abusive exchange, stone pelting, loot and arson between Muslim and Hindu Dalit communities over Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar’s Shobayatra to celebrate his birth. [...] In this village having a population of 7-8 thousand, there are 70 percent Muslims and around 25 percent Hindu Dalits (scheduled caste). For around 10 years now, Dr. Ambedkar’s Shobhayatra has been banned here by past UP administrations as it was considered a ‘communally sensitive’ area. It is pertinent to note that this is a non-religious procession held to honor a man who is regarded as the creator of Bharat’s Constitution – it would be interesting to hear our secular-liberals explain why such a procession would be opposed by Muslim fundamentalists. [...] Around 11:30 in the morning, the Shobhayatra entered the village and the Muslim community immediately started protesting, by blocking the path with a tractor. As the procession reached near the mosque, stone pelting and firing began from rooftops, which led to stopping the procession. The glasses of several vehicles broke due to stone pelting and many people, including policemen and more than half-a-dozen BJP workers including MP Lakhanpal and his brother, were injured. It is alleged that instead of trying to control the mob, police fled from the scene.

Evidence (2020-02-25): The stone-pelters did not stop and Delhi Police had to retreat.201 The police w ere pelting the Muslim mob with stones, along with Hindu rioters, in several places.202 They attacked w omen too, in the first place those who w ere taking part in the Chand Bagh sit-in.203 In the complaints filed subsequently, victims declare that the police also incited the activists to attack them.204 Like other rioters, some police officers took part in the looting and destruction of mosques, sometimes while chanting "Jai Shri Ram,"205 usually after destroying the CCTV cameras.206 In the case of Masjid Farooqia, "the perpetrators w ere police in uniform who attacked them while shouting ‘Jai Shri Ram.’ On 26 February at around 6:30–7 a.m., the mob broke the locks and entered the mosque. They destroyed the CCTVs and LLDs first."207 Possibly in reaction to the attitude of the police, two security personnel w ere killed during the riot: Ankit Sharma, an Intelligence Bureau staff member,208 and Police Constable Ratan Lal.209 Seemingly as a result, the police directly assaulted Muslims even more brutally. One of these attacks, on February 24, 2020, was filmed, and the videos went viral on the social media.

Claim: Visuals of Muslims obstructing an Ambedkar Jayanthi celebration by pelting bricks and stones (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-04-19)
Evidence (2023-04-06): The report notes that a crucial aspect of these processions’ strategy of inciting violence is that both Ram Navami and Hanuman Jayanti occurred last year during the holy month of Ramzan (as they do this year, too), which was used to provoke Muslims when they were present at mosques in large numbers in the mornings or evenings, as well as to paint Muslims uniformly as assailants in the popular discourse. This fed into the cycle of violence and the Islamophobic mood across the nation, further fomenting unrest. [...] First, in the PM Basti area of Howrah, West Bengal, ten people, including police officials were injured, public property vandalised, stones pelted, and police vehicles were set on fire on Ram Navami last year, according to the report. The report explains that the violence allegedly erupted due to a provocative speech in the primarily Muslim neighbourhood by a VHP procession that contained armed participants. [...] According to a report by Hindustan Times, first information reports have been registered against 12 men, all of whom are Muslims, as well as 400 unidentified persons, for allegedly rioting, assaulting and unlawfully assembling during the Ram Navami procession. The report doesn’t refer to any police action against the act of provocation by the procession members, or even mention the facts of the provocation that led to the stone-pelting.

Claim: Concept design of car safety belt in 1960s that goes around the neck (SOCILA MEDIA POST, 2023-02-10)
Evidence (2023-02-10): Considering the chronology of evolution of the seat belts, there is no mention of any safety belt that goes around the neck. Volvo developed a modern three-point seat belt, which is in use now. After this successful intervention, it is highly unlikely that inventors tested a safety belt that goes around the neck. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.

Evidence (2024-08-25): ");} Claim:A photograph shows a concept design from the 1960s of a seat belt that goes around one's neck. [...] Although we were unable to find the source of this photograph, which is captioned "A concept design for car safety belts from the 1960s," the concept appears to have been inspired by a scene in the 2008 film "The Onion Movie": According to the consumer advocacy group Center for Auto Safety, seat belts started their evolution as lap belts. In 1958, a Swedish engineer for Volvo invented the three-point restraint, namely a seat belt that included a lap belt and diagonal shoulder restraint. We found no evidence of any such design as the one shown above for neck belts — and for obvious reasons it would be an extraordinarily bad idea.

Evidence (2020-02-05): It's not like the safety belt wasn't invented, and used in various military contexts. And even if that weren't the case, it's a very obvious invention. We aren't talking about hi-tech sensors and air bags all around the passengers and refined safety measures like that -- we're talking about a basic belt around the humans so that they don't come flying through the window and become a pulp of blood and guts.

Evidence (2023-02-20): A photograph which claims to show a concept design of car safety belts in the 1960s is being widely shared. In this design, the belt goes around the neck of the passengers. Let’s fact-check the claim made in the post. [...] Fact: Considering the chronology of evolution of the seat belts, there is no mention of any safety belt that goes around the neck. Volvo developed a modern three-point seat belt, which is in use now. After this successful intervention, it is highly unlikely that inventors tested a safety belt that goes around the neck. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE. [...] After this, most of the car manufacturing companies used the three-point seat belts, as it proved to be most effective design. In other words, contrary to the claim, it is very unlikely that inventors tested a safety belt that goes around the neck after the successful intervention (3-point seatbelt).

Evidence (2024-01-01): Until the mid-1960s seat belts were not standard equipment in American cars. Owners could purchase aftermarket safety belts like this one and have them installed. Continued education and growing acceptance for car occupants' safety have led most states to adopt seat belt laws. [...] American car manufacturers developed child restraints designed for crash protection in the late 1960s. One of the first was Ford's Tot-Guard, seen in this photograph. The seatbelt secured the padded shield and seat. This early and effective restraint was not widely used, however. Only with more stringent regulations, public education, and mandated use would children safely ride in automobiles.

Evidence (2024-04-06): Throughout the 1960s, significant advancements in vehicle safety features were made, with seat belts transitioning from a rudimentary design to more advanced multi-point systems. Your journey in this section takes you from the early lap belt iterations to the comprehensive safety harnesses that have come to define modern passenger protection in vehicles. [...] In the early 1960s, cars typically were equipped with lap belts in the front seats. These were simple two-point systems, designed to restrain the lower body by securing over the rider’s waist. However, by the end of the decade, the three-point seatbelt—a groundbreaking innovation by Volvo in 1959—started to gain traction. This design provided additional restraint by extending the belt across the chest, thus offering better protection to both the upper and lower body during a collision. [...] Cars of the era offered a mix of features, with seat belts becoming increasingly common. If your 1960s car did have seat belts, they were likely the two-point lap style. The three-point design that Volvo introduced in 1959 was revolutionary, enhancing protection and becoming a precursor to modern seat belt designs.
Claim: Concept design of car safety belt in 1960s that goes around the neck (SOCILA MEDIA POST, 2023-02-10)
Evidence (2024-10-08): During the 1960s, the most common type of seat belt you’d find in cars was the lap belt. This belt went across the waist and did offer some protection, but it didn’t do much for the upper body. [...] Even though seat belts were increasingly available in cars during the 1960s, passengers in taxis were especially resistant. Many didn’t want to be "tied down" during a short ride, leading to a lower adoption rate in these vehicles. [...] The 1960s were a pivotal decade in the history of seat belts, showing that sometimes, it takes a while for a good idea to catch on. Yet, once it does, it can have a lasting impact on generations to come.

Evidence (2020-09-25): - 1959 – Volvo introduce Nils Bohlin’s three-point seatbelt, strapping over the lap and shoulder for the first time to provide extra protection. It remains one of the most effective car safety features ever created. The 60s saw a boom in car safety rules which made seatbelts and head restraints, among a number of other features, mandatory in cars. - 1963 – the inertia-reel seatbelt was introduced by Excelsior Motor Company, allowing the seatbelt to re-adjust to the passenger’s preference. Intermittent wipers are also introduced.

Evidence (2021-04-14): Although we were unable to find the source of this photograph, which is captioned "A concept design for car safety belts from the 1960s," the concept appears to have been inspired by a scene in the 2008 film "The Onion Movie": According to the consumer advocacy group Center for Auto Safety, seat belts started their evolution as lap belts.

We found no evidence of any such design as the one shown above for neck belts — and for obvious reasons it would be an extraordinarily bad idea. The neck belt meme reminded some who commented on social media posts of a thought experiment called Tullock's Spike, an idea thought up by economist Gordon Tullock, who posed the question: Do people engage in riskier behavior as cars get safer over time? If so, Tullock wondered, would putting a spike in the middle of the steering wheel convince people to drive more safely, counterintuitively saving more lives by preventing more traffic collisions?

Evidence (2007-01-01): The development and mandatory implementation of seat belts in the 1960s marked the beginning of a shift toward recognizing the importance of safety for all passengers. This eventually led to the evolution of the modern, safety-focused child car seat. [...] In 1962, Jean Ames designed a car seat that incorporated the vehicle's seat belt. Jean Ames’ car seat was similar in design to modern infant car seats.

Evidence (2021-07-09): The '60 and '63 only provided the belts for the front seats as standard; rear seatbelts were dealer installed. My father bought a new '65 Mercedes Benz 190D, and it came without belts. My father had the dealer install lap belts. The MB lap belts had an early form of inertia reel; you still had the friction adjustment at the buckle, but when released, the tongue section retracted around a cylindrical arrangement so it wouldn't flop around. I believe by the late '60s, early '70s, most European cars had unibelts with an inertia reel take-up which is how we know them today. My father's '73 Volvo 144 had lap/shoulder inertia reel belts for all passengers, even the middle rear seat. Now back to '60 Fords! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidence (2023-09-12): The result has been car safety innovations that benefit men and men only. For example, women are two to three times more likely to suffer whiplash injuries than men, likely because they have less muscle and more boniness around their neck than men do. Out of the two different whiplash protection designs from the 1990s though, only one protected men and women equally. The other reduced life-altering whiplash crash injuries up to 70% for male occupants – and had no benefit for female vehicle occupants.

Evidence (2014-05-02): I suspect you will be on shaky ground legally speaking whichever type you go for as the law doesn't allow seltbelts to be retro-fitted to cars unless they were designed to take them (as in some 1960s cars where they were optional). You may of course take the view that your safety is more important than the letter of the law, in which case I would favour a 3-point belt over a lap belt due to the proximity of the windscreen!

Evidence (2024-09-28): University of Minnesota professor James J. (Crash) Ryan was the inventor of, and held the patent for, the automatic retractable lap safety belt.

Evidence (2009-08-11): In 1958 Volvo's efforts in creating an effective safety solution resulted in a patent application for Nils Bohlin's three-point safety belt. His design had four important properties: 1) The system consisted of a lap belt and a diagonal belt, 2) the belts were anchored at a low attachment point beside the seat, 3) the belt geometry formed a V shape with the point directed toward the floor and 4) the belt stayed in position and did not move in an impact. [...] Since the 1960s, Bohlin's three-point safety belt has saved many hundreds of thousands of lives and prevented or reduced the severity of injuries among many millions of others. This makes the three-point safety belt the single most important safety device in the car's 120-year history. [...] Since the 1960s, Volvo Cars has worked hard to increase belt usage. For instance, Nils Bohlin conducted a long presentation tour in the US introducing the three-point safety belt to convince the widest possible audience of its benefits.

Evidence (2017-07-21): "The scheme has two USPs. One is the return of 8% p.a. which is a very good rate of interest when you look at fixed deposits fetching not more than 7% p.a. One more advantage is that the rate of return will remain 8% for the next 10 years, which is definitely a boon for senior citizens. It will ensure a smooth and consistent cash flow for them. Given the inflation rate of 4-5% p.a., the guaranteed pension at 8% p.a. is going to be so relieving," says Atul Surana, Certified Financial Planner, Catalyst Financial Planning. [...] "This scheme can be compared to other limited years schemes such as Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS) or Post Office MIS. The interest rates offered in SCSS also stands today at 8.4% which is locked till maturity once you invest. This is higher than the announced scheme. Also, in SCSS you can invest up to Rs 15 lakh, but here you can invest only up to Rs 7.5 lakh. When I look at both these features, then I stand to gain in SCSS. However, guaranteed schemes always attract us and a guaranteed for 10 years will attract people. Although PMVVY will provide a fixed income for 10 years, it does not factor in inflation which is a dampener. In my view, it’s the assured return which is attracting investors, but there are more lucrative options available in the market where one stands to benefit more," says Jitendra P.S. Solanki, CFP & Planner for Special Needs Member Families.
