the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt
Extender” at the end of this section.
Make sure the release button on the buckle is
positioned
so
you
would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly
if
you
ever had to.
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
crash.
