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.
