It was noticed by many passengers and even came to a point of complaint. lack of seat belts on trains It confuses many of us. It can also be seen that passengers have asked the Ombudsman many questions about this situation for safety reasons.

The main purpose of the seat belt, as we all know, is to prevent serious injury in accidents. The absence of seat belts in high-speed trains and regular trains is It is not a situation that endangers the safety of the passengers. Contrary to popular belief, would you be surprised if we told you that this is a precautionary measure for passenger safety?

There are no seat belts on trains for a number of reasons.

Presence of seat belts in cars or airplanes when it comes to keeping passengers’ lives safe Why is it the other way around in trains? There are actually several reasons for this.

On airplanes, we wear belts to keep us safe during turbulence. In cars, there are seat belts to prevent accidents that can occur due to sudden braking. However, business on the train is not at all what we think! To have a relatively comfortable journey, folks train ticket they receive. During the journey, unlike the plane or the car, we board the train; We walk around, we go to the restaurant. While you’re doing all this, no one wants to have a belt restricting them!

There is another, more practical reason.

We can explain this reason in one word: security!

The problem of seat belts in trains has been evaluated for years. All experts also agree that belts are not necessary.. Let’s brainstorm a bit, assuming trains have seatbelts. Suppose there are also passengers walking around while a few people are in a belted train. The train suddenly crashes and the unbelted people are thrown into the air, hitting the seated passengers. This, of course, will increase the number of injuries and cause additional damage to the occupants.

It causes spinal cord injuries.

Apart from the other reasons we have mentioned, one of the reasons for the lack of seat belts is so as not to harm the passengers in a sudden stop. The spine of a person moving forward with a sudden brake can be seriously damaged. In other words, the seat belt is the opposite of what it is in a normal car; actually on trains harms the passenger.

The Ombudsman’s Office has investigated whether seat belts can be used in trains.

In the 2019 report of the Ombudsman institution to ParliamentWhen examining the belt, “In the event of a major accident, it has been observed that the passengers are more vulnerable to injury and cannot escape the hazard, especially as they fasten their seat belts, and it has been concluded that the seat design has been developed to increase safety.” of passengers during a train accident is more effective than wearing seat belts.” gave up.
