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.

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 your body.
