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.
