To make the lap part tight, pull down
on the buckle end
of
the belt as you
pull up on the shoulder part.
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.
