Rotatable seat energy absorption

A system comprises a vehicle seat 110 is rotatable about an axis perpendicular to a vehicle floor from a forward-facing position to a rear-facing position. The seat includes a seat bottom 120 and a seat back 115. A seat belt assembly 125 extends at least partially from the seat back. At least one airbag 160 is incorporated into the seat belt assembly and is deployable when the vehicle seat is rotated to at least one of the rear-facing position and a position between the forward-facing position and the rear-facing position. Preferably the seat belt assembly includes first 135 and second 140 anchors and a retractor 130 and / or a shoulder 150 and belt 155 straps each includes an airbag. There may be a third side airbag 165, supported by the seat. Preferable there is an inflator 190. Also claimed is a processor to determine the seat position programmed to output a control signal in respect to the position and in response to a vehicle impact to cause the airbag(s) to inflate.
