Such lap-belt submarining can result in serious injuries to the abdomen and chest from belt loading, as well as injuries to other parts of the body from contact with the vehicle interior.
Because of the highly technical nature of submarining, the range of skills required to operate and maintain submarines, the small size of the crew and the independent, extended nature of submarine operations, operational submarines are manned at 100 percent of allowance as a matter of policy.
Submarining injuries occur as the belt leaves the bony hips and loads the abdomen directly.
