The seatbelt option on AVE trains is ruled out: Why?

Experts have ruled out the installation of seat belts in high-speed trains due to safety concerns, emphasizing that the focus should be on the train's structure and seat design to minimize injuries during accidents. Following recent train accidents, discussions arose about the potential benefits of seat belts, but officials noted that no railway system globally employs them. Instead, the priority is to enhance the train's exterior and seating to absorb impact forces. Studies indicate that seat belts could increase the risk of severe injuries in high-speed collisions. Future safety measures may include redesigning luggage compartments to prevent items from becoming projectiles during sudden stops or crashes.
