or the safety belts!
With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does.
You get more time to stop. You stop over more distance,
and your strongest bones take the forces. That’s why
safety belts make such good sense.
Here Are Questions Many People Ask
About Safety Belts

If my vehicle has air bags, why should
I
have to
wear safety belts?
A:
Air bags are in many vehicles today and will be
in most
of
them in the future. But they are
supplemental systems only;
so
they work
with
safety belts
--
not instead
of
them. Every air bag
system ever offered for sale has required the use
of safety belts. Even if you’re in
a
vehicle that has
air bags, you still have to buckle up to get the most
protection. That’s true not only in frontal collisions,
but especially in side and other collisions.
