In
most
states and Canadian provinces, the law says to
wear safety belts. Here’s why:
They
work.
You never know
if
you’ll be in a crash.
If
you
do have
a crash, you don’t know if it will be a bad one.
A
few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be
so
serious that even buckled up a person wouldn’t survive.
But most crashes
are
in between. In many
of
them,
people who buckle up can survive and sometimes
walk away. Without belts they could have been badly
hurt or killed.
After more than
25
years
of
safety belts in vehicles,
the facts are clear. In most crashes buckling
up
does
matter
...
a lot!
Why Safety Belts Work
When you ride
in
or
on anything,
you
go
as fast as
it goes.

Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it’s just a seat

wheels.
