The lap
part
of
the belt should be worn low and snug on
the hips, just touching the thighs.
In
a crash, this applies
force to the strong pelvic bones. And you’d be less likely
to slide
under
the
lap
belt.
If
you
slid under it,
the
belt
would apply force at your abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should
go
over the shoulder and across
the
chest. These parts
of
the
body
are
best able to take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks if there’s a sudden stop or a crash,
or if you pull
the
belt very quickly out of
the
retractor.
You
can be seriously hurt
if
your shoulder belt is
too loose. In
a
crash, you would move forward
too much, which could increase injury. The
shoulder belt should fit against your body.
To
unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle.
