Improperly worn safety belts
Incorrectly positioned safety belts can cause
severe injuries.
Wearing safety belts improperly can cause se-
rious injury or death. Safety belts can only
work when they are correctly positioned on
the body. Improper seat ing pos itions reduce
the effectiveness of safety belts and will even
increase t he risk of injury and death by mov-
ing the safety be lt to crit ical areas of the
body. Improper seating positions also in-
crease the risk of serious injury and death
when an airbag deploys and strikes an occu-
pant who is not in the correct seating posi-
tion. A driver is respons ible for the safety of
all veh icle occupants and especially for chil-
dren . Therefore:
"'" Never permit anyone to assume an incorrect
sitting pos ition in the vehicle while traveling

pants are correctly restra ined and stay in
