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,
or
if
you
pull
the belt very quickly oul
of
the retractor.
You
can be seriously hurt
if
your shoulder belt
is
too
loose.
In a crash,
you
would move forward
too much,
which
could increase injury. The
shoulder belt should fit against pour body.
To
unlatch the belt, just
push
the button
on
the buckle.
