To make the lap part tight, pull down
on the buckle end of the belt as you
pull up on the shoulder part.
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 veri
quickly out of the retractor.
