Do you know why there is no seat belt for a high-speed train at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour?

We all know that there are seat belts on airplanes and cars, but there are no seat belts on high-speed trains. Many people can't understand this truth. Comparing these three means of transportation, taking the high-speed rail is more stable, because the high-speed train is stably bound on two tracks, and its stability is better, and the high-speed rail independently developed by China has reached the world-class level, not only The acceleration is fast and stable, the speed is higher, and its safety performance is better. It adopts the most advanced ballastless rail in the world, so that the high-speed rail can fully release its speed without fear of derailment.

Passengers on the high-speed rail have done such an experiment, standing up a cigarette and putting it on the table of the high-speed rail. When the train accelerated from a standstill to a high speed of 300 kilometers per hour, the cigarette did not fall down, which is amazing. Some children have also done similar stability experiments. They built a ten-story building with wooden building blocks on the small table of the high-speed rail. When the train was running at high speed, the building did not fall down. Stability like this is definitely not possible in cars and airplanes. The stability and balance of high-speed rail far exceeds the former two.

Passengers on the plane must install seat belts, mainly to prevent the impact of the airflow, especially to prevent the plane from bumping up and down when encountering turbulence. fall and cause personal injury. Everyone knows that the car wears a seat belt. This is to avoid a secondary collision. When the car collides with the object in front, due to the inertial effect, if the passenger in the car does not wear a seat belt, it is very likely to hit the front object. On the steering wheel or seat, it will even be thrown out.

If you take the high-speed rail, the chances of passengers being thrown out and being injured are relatively small, and the high-speed rail uses anti-collision seats. When an accident occurs on the train and the passenger hits the front seat, the passenger's knees and head will be injured. Seats are automatically retracted wherever they hit the seat to avoid damage to passengers. Studies have found that if seat belts are used to tie passengers to high-speed rail seats, once a serious accident occurs on the high-speed rail, these passengers will be restrained by seat belts, and the damage will be greater. There was such an accident on the German high-speed rail. At that time, only 11 passengers were saved because of seat belts, but as many as 88 passengers were damaged by seat belts. Therefore, installing seat belts on high-speed rail is more harmful than beneficial. The seat belt was removed.
