Nils Ivar Bohlin (July 17, 1920 – September 21, 2002)
Nils Bohlin, the Swedish engineer and inventor responsible
for the three-point lap and shoulder seatbelt–considered
one of the most important innovations in automobile safety,
was born in Härnösand, Sweden.
Before 1959, only the two-point lap belts were available in
automobiles; for the most part, the only people who regularly
buckled up were race car drivers.
In 1942 Bohlin started working for the aircraft maker Saab as
an aircraft designer and helped develop ejection seats. In
1958 he joined Volvo as a safety engineer where he invented
the three-point safety belt, now a standard safety feature in
all cars.
The first AFL-NFL World Championship Game in professional football, known retroactively as Super Bowl I and referred to in some reports, including the
game’s radio broadcast, as the Super Bowl, was played on January 15, 1967
at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, CA. The National
Football League (NFL) champion Green Bay Packers defeated the American Football League (AFL) champion Kansas City Chiefs by the score of 35–10.
