Question:

If your hands are currently receiving burns in an auto fire, can you unbuckle your seatbelt?

This question pertains to fire safety in auto racing. Quick background:Fire suits/gloves/etc. receive a standardized SFI rating. The lowest SFI rating (SFI-1) gives you three seconds protection from a 2nd-degree burn in a 1800 degree firea typical gasoline fire. SFI-5 gives you ten seconds, SFI-10 gives you nineteen seconds, etc.I've heard that if your hands are receiving burns, your hand will curl up into a tight fist, which leaves you unable to unfasten your seat belts.I am asking my racing series to change their rules by increasing the minimum fire suit and glove ratings from SFI-1 to SFI-5. We recently had a driver die when he was trapped in his burning racecar.My question is Is the hand curling true? If it is, what are the technical/medical terms for this situation? I want to present solid information to the sanctioning body when I request the increase to racing glove protection.JeffAbilene, TX
