A seat belt reduces the likelihood of death or serious <a href="/wiki/Injury" title="Injury">injury</a> in a <a href="/wiki/Traffic_collision" title="Traffic collision">traffic collision</a> by reducing the force of <a href="/wiki/Second_impact_(safety)" title="Second impact (safety)">secondary impacts</a> with interior strike hazards, by keeping occupants positioned correctly for maximum effectiveness of the <a href="/wiki/Airbag" title="Airbag">airbag</a> (if equipped), and by preventing occupants being ejected from the <a href="/wiki/Traffic_collision" title="Traffic collision">vehicle in a crash</a> or if the <a href="/wiki/Vehicle_rollover" title="Vehicle rollover">vehicle rolls over</a>. When in motion, the driver and passengers are traveling at the same speed as the vehicle. If the vehicle suddenly stops or crashes, the occupants continue at the same speed the vehicle was going before it stopped. A seat belt applies an opposing force to the driver and passengers to prevent them from falling out or making contact with the interior of the car (especially preventing contact with, or going through, the <a href="/wiki/Windshield" title="Windshield">windshield</a>). Seat belts are considered primary restraint systems (PRSs), because of their vital role in occupant safety. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Effectiveness">Effectiveness</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Seat_belt&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Effectiveness">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Lives_Saved_by_Safety_Belts_and_Air_Bags,_NHTSA,_DOT.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Lives_Saved_by_Safety_Belts_and_Air_Bags%2C_NHTSA%2C_DOT.svg/290px-Lives_Saved_by_Safety_Belts_and_Air_Bags%2C_NHTSA%2C_DOT.svg.png" decoding="async" width="290" height="97" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Lives_Saved_by_Safety_Belts_and_Air_Bags%2C_NHTSA%2C_DOT.svg/435px-Lives_Saved_by_Safety_Belts_and_Air_Bags%2C_NHTSA%2C_DOT.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Lives_Saved_by_Safety_Belts_and_Air_Bags%2C_NHTSA%2C_DOT.svg/580px-Lives_Saved_by_Safety_Belts_and_Air_Bags%2C_NHTSA%2C_DOT.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="760" data-file-height="255" /></a><figcaption>Lives saved by seat belts and airbags in the United States, 1991–2001</figcaption></figure> An analysis conducted in the United States in 1984 compared a variety of seat belt types alone and in combination with <a href="/wiki/Airbag" title="Airbag">air bags</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:0-1">[1]</a> The range of fatality reduction for front seat passengers was broad, from 20% to 55%, as was the range of major injury, from 25% to 60%.<a href="#cite_note-:0-1">[1]</a> More recently, the <a href="/wiki/Centers_for_Disease_Control_and_Prevention" title="Centers for Disease Control and Prevention">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention</a> has summarized these data by stating "seat belts reduce serious crash-related injuries and deaths by about half."<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a> Most malfunctions are a result of there being too much slack in the seat belt at the time of the accident.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a>[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources" title="Wikipedia:Reliable sources">unreliable source?</a>] It has been suggested that although seat belt usage reduces the probability of death in any given accident, mandatory seat belt laws have little or no effect on the overall number of traffic fatalities because seat belt usage also disincentivizes safe driving behaviors, thereby increasing the total number of accidents.

Modern seat belt webbing has a high <a href="/wiki/Ultimate_tensile_strength" title="Ultimate tensile strength">tensile strength</a>, about 3000-6000lbs,<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> to resist tearing at high loads such as during <a href="/wiki/Traffic_collision" title="Traffic collision">high-speed collisions</a> or while restraining larger passengers. While <a href="/wiki/Nylon" title="Nylon">nylon</a> was used in some early seat belts (and is still used for lap belts), it was replaced by 100% <a href="/wiki/Polyester" title="Polyester">polyester</a> due to its better <a href="/wiki/Ultraviolet" title="Ultraviolet">UV</a> resistance, lower extensibility and higher stiffness.<a href="#cite_note-:1-20">[20]</a><a href="#cite_note-:2-21">[21]</a> Nylon was also prone to stretching much more than polyester, and was prone to wear and tear, with tiny abrasions drastically reducing tensile strength causing a lack of reliability in one of the most important safety measures in a vehicle. Seat belts are commonly 46 or 48 mm wide with a 2/2 <a href="/wiki/Herringbone_(cloth)" title="Herringbone (cloth)">herringbone twill</a> weaving pattern to maximize the thread density.<a href="#cite_note-:1-20">[20]</a><a href="#cite_note-:2-21">[21]</a> Modern seatbelt weaves also feature snag-proof selvedges reinforced with strong polyester threads to prevent the wear and tear, while remaining flexible.

Accident investigators often examine the webbing of a seatbelt to determine if an occupant of a vehicle was wearing their seatbelt during a collision. The material of the webbing may contain traces of the occupant's clothing.

The shoulder harness may attach to the lap belt tongue, or it may have a tongue and buckle completely separate from those of the lap belt. Shoulder harnesses of this separate or semi-separate type were installed in conjunction with lap belts in the outboard front seating positions of many vehicles in the North American market starting at the inception of the shoulder belt requirement of the U.S. <a href="/wiki/National_Highway_Traffic_Safety_Administration" title="National Highway Traffic Safety Administration">National Highway Traffic Safety Administration</a>'s (NHTSA) Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208 on January 1, 1968.

Starting in 1996, all passenger vehicles were required to lock pre-crash, meaning they have a locking mechanism in the retractor or in the latch plate.<a href="#cite_note-43">[43]</a> Seat belts are stowed on spring-loaded reels called "retractors" equipped with <a href="/wiki/Inertia" title="Inertia">inertial</a> locking mechanisms that stop the belt from extending off the reel during severe deceleration.<a href="#cite_note-44">[44]</a> There are two main types of inertial seat belt locks. A webbing-sensitive lock is based on a <a href="/wiki/Centrifugal_clutch" title="Centrifugal clutch">centrifugal clutch</a> activated by the rapid acceleration of the strap (webbing) from the reel. The belt can be pulled from the reel only slowly and gradually, as when the occupant extends the belt to fasten it. A sudden rapid pull of the belt—as in a sudden braking or collision event—causes the reel to lock, restraining the occupant in position. The first automatic locking retractor for seat belts and shoulder harnesses in the U.S. was the Irving "Dynalock" safety device.<a href="#cite_note-45">[45]</a><a href="#cite_note-46">[46]</a> These "Auto-lock" front lap belts were optional on AMC cars with bucket seats in 1967.<a href="#cite_note-47">[47]</a> A vehicle-sensitive lock is based on a <a href="/wiki/Pendulum" title="Pendulum">pendulum</a> swung away from its plumb position by rapid deceleration or rollover of the vehicle. In the absence of rapid deceleration or rollover, the reel is unlocked and the belt strap may be pulled from the reel against the spring tension of the reel. The vehicle occupant can move around with relative freedom while the spring tension of the reel keeps the belt taut against the occupant. When the pendulum swings away from its normal plumb position due to sudden deceleration or rollover, a <a href="/wiki/Ratchet_(device)" title="Ratchet (device)">pawl</a> is engaged, the reel locks and the strap restrains the belted occupant in position. Dual-sensing locking retractors use both vehicle G-loading and webbing payout rate to initiate the locking mechanism. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Pretensioners_and_webclamps">Pretensioners and webclamps</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Seat_belt&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Pretensioners and webclamps">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Gurtstraffer.gif" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/Gurtstraffer.gif" decoding="async" width="157" height="145" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="157" data-file-height="145" /></a><figcaption>Pyrotechnic pretensioner diagram</figcaption></figure> Seat belts in many newer vehicles are also equipped with "pretensioners" or "web clamps", or both. Pretensioners preemptively tighten the belt to prevent the occupant from jerking forward in a crash. Mercedes-Benz first introduced pretensioners on the <a href="/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W126" title="Mercedes-Benz W126">1981 S-Class</a>. In the event of a crash, a pretensioner will tighten the belt almost instantaneously. This reduces the motion of the occupant in a violent crash. Like airbags, pretensioners are triggered by sensors in the car's body, and many pretensioners have used explosively expanding gas to drive a piston that retracts the belt. Pretensioners also lower the risk of "submarining", which occurs when a passenger slides forward under a loosely fitted seat belt. Some systems also pre-emptively tighten the belt during fast accelerations and strong decelerations, even if no crash has happened. This has the advantage that it may help prevent the driver from sliding out of position during violent evasive maneuvers, which could cause loss of control of the vehicle. These pre-emptive safety systems may prevent some collisions from happening, as well as reduce injuries in the event an actual collision occurs.<a href="#cite_note-Ito-48">[48]</a> Pre-emptive systems generally use electric pretensioners, which can operate repeatedly and for a sustained period, rather than pyrotechnic pretensioners, which can only operate a single time. Webclamps stop the webbing in the event of an accident and limit the distance the webbing can spool out (caused by the unused webbing tightening on the central drum of the mechanism). These belts also often incorporate an energy management loop ("rip stitching") in which a section of the webbing is looped and stitched with special stitching. The function of this is to "rip" at a predetermined load, which reduces the maximum force transmitted through the belt to the occupant during a violent collision, reducing injuries to the occupant. A study demonstrated that standard automotive three-point restraints fitted with pyrotechnic or electric pretensioners were not able to eliminate all interior passenger compartment head strikes in rollover test conditions.<a href="#cite_note-49">[49]</a> Electric pretensioners are often incorporated on vehicles equipped with <a href="/wiki/Precrash_system" class="mw-redirect" title="Precrash system">precrash systems</a>; they are designed to reduce seat belt slack in a potential collision and assist in placing the occupants in a more optimal seating position.<a href="#cite_note-50">[50]</a> The electric pretensioners also can operate on a repeated or sustained basis, providing better protection in the event of an extended rollover or a <a href="/wiki/Multiple-vehicle_collision" title="Multiple-vehicle collision">multiple collision</a> accident. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Inflatable">Inflatable</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Seat_belt&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Inflatable">edit</a>]</div> The inflatable seat belt was invented by Donald Lewis and tested at the Automotive Products Division of <a href="/wiki/Allied_Chemical_Corporation" class="mw-redirect" title="Allied Chemical Corporation">Allied Chemical Corporation</a>.<a href="#cite_note-51">[51]</a> Inflatable seat belts have tubular inflatable bladders contained within an outer cover. When a crash occurs, the bladder inflates with gas to increase the area of the restraint contacting the occupant and also shortening the length of the restraint to tighten the belt around the occupant, improving the protection.<a href="#cite_note-52">[52]</a> The inflatable sections may be shoulder-only or lap and shoulder. The system supports the head during the crash better than a web-only belt. It also provides side impact protection.

Generally, children using adult seat belts suffer significantly lower injury risk when compared to non-buckled children. The UK extended compulsory seat belt wearing to child passengers under the age of 14 in 1989. It was observed that this measure was accompanied by a 10% increase in fatalities and a 12% increase in injuries among the target population.<a href="#cite_note-86">[86]</a> In crashes, small children who wear adult seat belts can suffer "seat-belt syndrome" injuries including severed intestines, ruptured diaphragms, and spinal damage. There is also research suggesting that children in inappropriate restraints are at significantly increased risk of head injury.<a href="#cite_note-87">[87]</a> One of the authors of this research said, "The early graduation of kids into adult lap and shoulder belts is a leading cause of child-occupant injuries and deaths."<a href="#cite_note-88">[88]</a> As a result of such findings, many jurisdictions now advocate or require child passengers to use specially designed child restraints. Such systems include separate child-sized seats with their own restraints and booster cushions for children using adult restraints. In some jurisdictions, children below a certain size are forbidden to travel in front car seats."<a href="#cite_note-89">[89]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Automated_reminders_and_engine_start_interlocks">Automated reminders and engine start interlocks</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Seat_belt&action=edit&section=23" title="Edit section: Automated reminders and engine start interlocks">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:11_ceintures.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/13/11_ceintures.jpg" decoding="async" width="121" height="64" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="121" data-file-height="64" /></a><figcaption>Warning lights on a car dashboard</figcaption></figure> In Europe, the U.S., and some other parts of the world, most modern cars include a seat-belt reminder light for the driver and some also include a reminder for the passenger, when present, activated by a pressure sensor under the passenger seat.

This mandate applied to passenger cars built after August 1973, i.e., starting with the 1974 <a href="/wiki/Model_year" title="Model year">model year</a>. The specifications required the system to permit the car to be started only if the belt of an occupied seat were fastened after the occupant sat down, so pre-buckling the belts would not defeat the system.<a href="#cite_note-96">[96]</a><a href="#cite_note-Federal-97">[97]</a> The interlock systems used logic modules complex enough to require special diagnostic computers, and were not entirely dependable—an override button was provided under the hood of equipped cars, permitting one (but only one) "free" starting attempt each time it was pressed.<a href="#cite_note-Petersen-98">[98]</a> However, the interlock system spurred severe backlash from an American public who largely rejected seat belts. In 1974, Congress acted to prohibit NHTSA from requiring or permitting a system that prevents a vehicle from starting or operating with an unbelted occupant, or that gives an audible warning of an unfastened belt for more than 8 seconds after the ignition is turned on.<a href="#cite_note-Federal-97">[97]</a><a href="#cite_note-99">[99]</a> This prohibition took effect on 27 October 1974, shortly after the 1975 model year began.<a href="#cite_note-100">[100]</a> In response to the Congressional action, NHTSA once again amended FMVSS 208, requiring vehicles to come with a seat belt reminder system that gives an audible signal for 4 to 8 seconds and a warning light for at least 60 seconds after the ignition is turned on if the driver's seat belt is not fastened.<a href="#cite_note-Federal-97">[97]</a> This is called a seat belt reminder (SBR) system. In the mid-1990s, the Swedish insurance company <a href="/wiki/Folksam" title="Folksam">Folksam</a> worked with Saab and Ford to determine the requirements for the most efficient seat belt reminder. One characteristic of the optimal SBR, according to the research, is that the audible warning becomes increasingly penetrating the longer the seat belt remains unfastened.<a href="#cite_note-SWOV-101">[101]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Efficacy">Efficacy</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Seat_belt&action=edit&section=26" title="Edit section: Efficacy">edit</a>]</div> In 2001, Congress[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify">clarification needed</a>] directed NHSTA[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Words_to_watch#Unsupported_attributions" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch">who?</a>] to study the benefits of technology meant to increase the use of seat belts. NHSTA found that seat belt usage had increased to 73% since the initial introduction of the SBR system.<a href="#cite_note-Federal-97">[97]</a> In 2002, Ford demonstrated that seat belts were used more in Fords with seat belt reminders than in those without: 76% and 71% respectively. In 2007, Honda conducted a similar study and found that 90% of people who drove Hondas with seat belt reminders used a seat belt, while 84% of people who drove Hondas without seat belt reminders used a seat belt.<a href="#cite_note-SWOV-101">[101]</a> In 2003, the Transportation Research Board Committee, chaired by two psychologists, reported that "Enhanced SBRs" (ESBRs) could save an additional 1,000 lives a year.<a href="#cite_note-Buckle-102">[102]</a> Research by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that Ford's ESBR, which provides an intermittent chime for up to five minutes if the driver is unbelted, sounding for 6 seconds then pausing for 30, increased seat belt use by 5 percentage points.<a href="#cite_note-Buckle-102">[102]</a> Farmer and Wells found that driver fatality rates were 6% lower for vehicles with ESBR compared with otherwise-identical vehicles without.<a href="#cite_note-103">[103]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Delayed_start">Delayed start</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Seat_belt&action=edit&section=27" title="Edit section: Delayed start">edit</a>]</div> Starting with the 2020 model year, some <a href="/wiki/Chevrolet" title="Chevrolet">Chevrolet</a> cars refused to shift from Park to Drive for 20 seconds if the driver is unbuckled and the car is in "teen driver" mode.

href="/wiki/Crash_test_dummy" title="Crash test dummy">crash test dummies</a> and human <a href="/wiki/Cadaver" title="Cadaver">cadavers</a> indicate that wearing seat belts greatly reduces the risk of <a href="/wiki/Death" title="Death">death</a> and injury in the majority of car crashes. This has led many countries to adopt mandatory seat belt wearing laws. It is generally accepted that, in comparing like-for-like accidents, a vehicle occupant not wearing a properly fitted seat belt has a significantly and substantially higher chance of death and serious injury. One large observation studying using U.S. data showed that the <a href="/wiki/Odds_ratio" title="Odds ratio">odds ratio</a> of crash death is 0.46 with a three-point belt when compared with no belt.<a href="#cite_note-112">[112]</a> In another study that examined injuries presenting to the <a href="/wiki/Emergency_room" class="mw-redirect" title="Emergency room">ER</a> pre- and post-seat belt law introduction, it was found that 40% more escaped injury and 35% more escaped mild and moderate injuries.<a href="#cite_note-113">[113]</a> The effects of seat belt laws are disputed by those who observe that their passage did not reduce road fatalities. There has also been concern that instead of legislating for a general protection standard for vehicle occupants, laws that required a particular technical approach would rapidly become dated as motor manufacturers would tool up for a particular standard that could not easily be changed. For example, in 1969 there were competing designs for lap and three-point seat belts, rapidly tilting seats, and airbags being developed. As countries started to mandate seat belt restraints the global auto industry invested in the tooling and standardized exclusively on seat belts, and ignored other restraint designs such as airbags for several decades<a href="#cite_note-114">[114]</a> As of 2016, seat belt laws can be divided into two categories: primary and secondary. A primary seat belt law allows an officer to issue a citation for lack of seat belt use without any other citation, whereas a secondary seat belt law allows an officer to issue a seat belt citation only in the presence of a different violation. In the United States, fifteen states enforce secondary laws, while 34 states, as well as the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands enforce primary seat belt laws. New Hampshire lacks either a primary or secondary seat belt law.<a href="#cite_note-115">[115]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Risk_compensation">Risk compensation</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Seat_belt&action=edit&section=32" title="Edit section: Risk compensation">edit</a>]</div> Some have proposed that the number of deaths was influenced by the development of <a href="/wiki/Risk_compensation" title="Risk compensation">risk compensation</a>, which says that drivers adjust their behavior in response to the increased sense of personal safety wearing a seat belt provides. In one trial subjects were asked to drive <a href="/wiki/Go-kart" title="Go-kart">go-karts</a> around a track under various conditions. It was found that subjects who started driving unbelted drove consistently faster when subsequently belted.<a href="#cite_note-116">[116]</a> Similarly, a study of habitual non-seat belt wearers driving in freeway conditions found evidence that they had adapted to use by adopting higher driving speeds and closer following distances.<a href="#cite_note-117">[117]</a> A 2001 analysis of U.S. crash data aimed to establish the effects of legislation on driving fatalities<a href="#cite_note-CohenLeinav-4">[4]</a> and found that previous estimates of seat belt effectiveness had been significantly overstated. According to the analysis, seat belts decreased fatalities by 1.35% for each 10% increase in seat belt use. The study controlled for endogenous motivations of seat belt use, because that creates an artificial correlation between seat belt use and fatalities, leading to the conclusion that seat belts cause fatalities. For example, drivers in high-risk areas are more likely to use seat belts and are more likely to be in accidents, creating a non-causal correlation between seat belt use and mortality. After accounting for the endogeneity of seat belt usage, Cohen and Einav found no evidence that the risk compensation effect makes seat belt-wearing drivers more dangerous, a finding at variance with other research. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Increased_traffic">Increased traffic</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Seat_belt&action=edit&section=33" title="Edit section: Increased traffic">edit</a>]</div> Other statistical analyses have included adjustments for factors such as increased traffic and age, and based on these adjustments, which results in a reduction of morbidity and mortality due to seat belt use.<a href="#cite_note-nakahara-109">[109]</a> However,[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Writing_better_articles#Stay_on_topic" title="Wikipedia:Writing better articles">relevant?</a>] <a href="/wiki/Smeed%27s_law" title="Smeed's law">Smeed's law</a> predicts a fall in accident rate with increasing car ownership and has been demonstrated independently of seat belt legislation.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Mass_transit_considerations">Mass transit considerations</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Seat_belt&action=edit&section=34" title="Edit section: Mass transit considerations">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Buses">Buses</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Seat_belt&action=edit&section=35" title="Edit section: Buses">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="School_buses">School buses</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Seat_belt&action=edit&section=36" title="Edit section: School buses">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Seat_belts_in_school_buses" class="mw-redirect" title="Seat belts in school buses">Seat belts in school buses</a></div> In the U.S., six states—California, Florida, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, and Texas—require seat belts on school buses.<a href="#cite_note-118">[118]</a> Pros<a href="#cite_note-119">[119]</a><a href="#cite_note-120">[120]</a><a href="#cite_note-121">[121]</a> and cons<a href="#cite_note-122">[122]</a><a href="#cite_note-123">[123]</a><a href="#cite_note-124">[124]</a> have been debated about the use of seat belts in school buses. School buses, which are much bigger than the average vehicle, allow for the mass transportation of students from place to place. The American School Bus Council states in a brief article: "The children are protected like eggs in an egg carton—compartmentalized, and surrounded with padding and structural integrity to secure the entire container." Although school buses are considered safe for mass transit of students, this will not guarantee that the students will be injury-free if an impact were to occur. Seat belts in buses are sometimes believed to make recovering from a roll or tip harder for passengers, as they could be easily trapped in their own safety belts.<a href="#cite_note-125">[125]</a> In 2015, for the first time, NHTSA endorsed seat belts on school buses.<a href="#cite_note-126">[126]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Motor_coaches">Motor coaches</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Seat_belt&action=edit&section=37" title="Edit section: Motor coaches">edit</a>]</div> In the European Union, all new long-distance buses and coaches must be fitted with seat belts.<a href="#cite_note-127">[127]</a> Australia has required lap/sash seat belts in new coaches since 1994.
