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
crash.
