11.3 Crash testing on the SALSA
A representative SALSA wheelchair has been tested in
accordance with the dynamic performance requirements
specified in ISO 7176-19:2001 “Wheeled Mobility Devices for
use in Motor Vehicles” using an Q straint 6 point strap restraint
system with double straps at the rear which conform to ISO
10542 or SAE J2249 and was used in accordance with the
WTORS manufacturer’s instructions.
The Q straint restraint system was used for these tests.
However other restraint systems can be used as long as
they conform to ISO 10542 or SAE J2249 and are used in
accordance with the WTORS manufacturer’s instructions. They
must also be checked to make sure that they
are sufficiently specified for the weight of the
wheelchair and rider

from the wheelchair.
