Nils Bohlin, Swedish engineer, invented three-point safety belt (born 1920)

Nils Ivar Bohlin was a Swedish mechanical engineer and inventor who invented the three-point safety belt while working at Volvo.

A seat belt or seatbelt, also known as a safety belt, is a vehicle safety device designed to secure the driver or a passenger of a vehicle against harmful movement that may result during a collision or a sudden stop. A seat belt reduces the likelihood of death or serious injury in a traffic collision by reducing the force of secondary impacts with interior strike hazards, by keeping occupants positioned correctly for maximum effectiveness of the airbag, and by preventing occupants being ejected from the vehicle in a crash or if the vehicle rolls over.
