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.
