make the lap part tight, pull down

the buckle end
of
the belt as
you pull up

the shoulder belt.
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.
