This figure lights up when you
turn
the
key to
ON
or
START
when your safety
belt isn’t buckled, and you’ll hear a
chime, too. It’s the reminder to buckle
UP-
In many states and Canadian provinces,
the law says to wear safety belts. Here’s
why:
They
work.
You never know if you’ll be in a crash.
If
you
do have a crash, you don’t know
if it
will
be
a
bad one.
A
few crashes are very mild. In them,
you won’t get hurt even if you’re not
buckled up. And some crashes can be
sa
serious, like being hit by a train, that
even
buckled up a person wouldn’t
survive. But most crashes are in
between.
In
many
of
them, people who
buckle up can survive and sometimes
walk away. Without belts they could be
badly hurt or killed.
After
25
years of safety belts in
vehicles, the facts are clear.
In
most
crashes buckling up does matter
.

a lot!
Why
Safety
Belts
Work
When you ride in or
on
anything, you
go
as fast
as
it goes.
For example, if the bike is going
10
mph
(16
km/h),
so
is
the child.
