The missing comparison is to a parent holding the baby in their arms, which I expect would also fail a 9G test. We're not making babies safer by requiring parents to take them out of babywearing carriers.

Exactly. There is no way most parents could keep ahold of a child during 9Gs, unless they have the grip strength to lift several tons.

  • I'd read the report. It had more to say on how carriers could cause worse injuries due to vertical orientation of the child.
