In 1958, Nils Bohlin, an engineer at Volvo, invented the three-point seatbelt – a simple but revolutionary design that would save countless lives in the years to come. Unlike previous seatbelt designs, which were uncomfortable and often failed to protect passengers in crashes, Bohlin’s invention was both effective and easy to use. Recognizing the life-saving potential of this invention, Volvo waived its patent rights, allowing other car manufacturers to use the design for free. This decision helped to promote widespread adoption of the three-point seatbelt, making cars safer for everyone. Join us as we explore the history and impact of this important safety innovation, and learn about the people and companies that made it possible.
