摘要：The present invention is an apparatus and method for containing the cylinder heads and other parts of a high-performance motor engine during an uncontrolled explosion of the engine. The invented engine containment strap is a multi-ply band of heavy woven webbing having metal buckles on each end of the material. A first and a second buckle are attached to the respective adjacent ends of the strap. Each buckle has a slot defined near the edge of the buckle. Each end of the strap is inserted through the slot of its respective buckle and then folded back upon itself. The resulting four layers at each end of the strap are then stitched together, with the stitching repeated in a pattern to reinforce the stitched ends. The encircling engine strap is placed around the cylinder heads and engine block of the motor engine, with the ends of the strap having the buckles attached together by connector bolts, thus providing an engine containment strap that completely encircles the motor engine. In the event of an engine explosion, projectiles are either contained by the strap or redirected away from the head and torso of the rider.
