Abstract:
A method and apparatus for protecting a passenger during a crash comprises a moveable seat with an energy absorber (EA) that allows the seat to stroke a finite distance to decelerate the passenger in a controlled manner. The seat is designed so that one of a plurality of fixed profile EA's can be selectively engaged to provide a tailored EA composite profile adapted to the occupant's weight and anticipated crash environment. The tailored EA composite profile applies a frequency matched, low onset force to the seat, which substantially eliminates problems associated with dynamic overshoot of the passenger's spine.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein:\n each of said Fixed Profile Energy Absorbers has a fixed energy profile having an energy absorption value and the step of selectively coupling at least one of said plurality of Fixed Profile Energy Absorbers between the seat and the vehicle comprises selecting a lowest energy absorption value that is greater than the absorption energy necessary to prevent injury to the occupant.
