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.
