It is very important for all occupants to buckle
up. Statistics show that unbelted people are
hurt more often in crashes than those who are
wearing seat belts.
There are important things to know about
wearing aseat belt properly.
•
Sit up straight and always keep your feet on
the floor in front of you (if possible).
•
A
lways use the correct buckle for your
seating position.
•
Wear the lap part of the belt low and snug
on the hips, just touching the thighs. In
acrash, this applies force to the strong
pelvic bones and you would be less likely
to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under
it, the belt would apply force on your
abdomen. This could cause serious or even
fatal injuries.
•
Wear the shoulder belt over the shoulder
and across the chest. These parts of the
body are best able to take belt restraining
forces. The shoulder belt locks if there is
asudden stop or crash.

loose or twisted.
