Safe brake pedal
Collapsible brake pedal design minimizes the amount of reverse pedal. This provides a mitigation of the impact force, attributable to the lower body of the driver. When a frontal impact the movement of the engine and other elements inside the body causes a displacement of the brake pedal bracket A back and he is separated from the brake pedal bracket B. Move back the lever of the brake pedal, associated with a support bracket A, back stop prevents the brake pedal bracket B. Because of this , movement of the brake pedal arm back is suppressed by moving the brake pedal bracket A.
