Why are no seat belts provided on high-speed train seats
Thread Content
Everyone knows that there are seat belts on airplanes and in cars, so why aren’t there seat belts on high-speed trains traveling at speeds over 300 kilometers per hour?
I’ve taken high-speed trains and EMUs many times, and there really isn’t any; I don’t know why. Who knows?
Only after talking about it did I realize that I actually don’t do this very often; on high-speed trains, there are usually no sudden brakes, and if there were, one would definitely be flung around~~~
It may be related to the fact that high-speed trains have dedicated tracks, while cars and planes encounter more situations where they cannot meet high-speed trains. Other aspects are unclear.
Are there seat belts on the ship? I also thought of Indian trains.....
Trains have never had seat belts; even though they used to be slow (but not slower than buses), none were provided. Trains are specialized rail transportation vehicles; the road conditions during operation are relatively simple, and even when braking, they do not risk tipping over or colliding. The plane only reminds passengers to fasten their seat belts during takeoff and landing (or when encountering strong convective winds); otherwise, fastening seat belts is not mandatory. The airplane’s speed is 700-800 KM/H
It might be because of the dedicated lane
Why don’t high-speed trains have seat belts? In summary, there are mainly three reasons for this. First, high-speed trains have extremely strict control over stability. To give the simplest example, when a high-speed train sets off, whether you are chatting with friends or reading a newspaper, it’s difficult to realize that the train has started moving unless there are rapid changes in the scenery and lighting outside the window. Second, in the event of an accident involving a high-speed train, the harm caused to passengers by seat belts far exceeds the potential protection they provide. This is the most important and fundamental reason. Third, there are practical reasons; it is difficult to implement in reality, as passengers on high-speed trains are reluctant to fasten their seat belts. A major reason why people choose high-speed trains over airplanes is that they offer more spacious interiors and smoother rides. People are used to moving freely around the carriages and visiting friends in different cars, which is why few of them are willing to fasten their seat belts on high-speed trains.
