Abstract

A vehicle seat has a back portion deformable forwardly when impacted from the rear by a passenger. A horizontally movable seat platform is slidably mounted to the seat frame and has restraint belts. The seat platform is normally held in an aft position until forward passenger force is applied through the lap belts to the movable platform during a crash.
