or
the
safety belts!
With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does.
You get more time
to
stop.
You
stop over more distance,
and your strongest bones take the forces. That's
why
safety belts make such good sense.
Here Are Questions Many People
Ask
About Safety Belts
--
and
the Answers
e.'
Won't
I
be trapped in the vehicle after an
accident if
I'm
wearing
a
safety belt?
A:
You
could
be
--
whether you're wearing
a
safety
belt or not.
But
you can unbuckle a safety belt,
even
if
you're upside down. And your chance
of
being conscious during and after an accident,
so
you
C'CIM
unbuckle and get out, is
rwch
greater
if
you are belted.
Q.'
If
my
vehicle has air bags, why
should
I
have to
wear safety belts?
A:
Air
bags are
in
many vehicles today and
will
be
in
most of them
in
the future. But they are
supplemental systems only;
so
they work
with
safety belts
--
not instead
of
them. Every air bag
system ever offered
for sale has required the
use
of
safety belts. Even
if
you're
in
a vehicle that has air
bags, you still have to buckle
up
to get the
most
protection. That's true not only
in
frontal collisions,
but
especially
in
side and other collisions.
