Research has shown that safety belts save lives. Safety belts can
reduce the seriousness of injuries in a single vehicle accident. Some
of the worst injuries happen when people are thrown from the vehicle.
Safety belts provide protection, and they reduce the risk of injury
caused by striking the inside of the vehicle. Everyone needs to buckle
up all the time, even for short trips.
• Always wear your safety belt correctly. Safety belts are designed to go
around the large bones of your body. These are the strongest parts of
your body and can take the forces of a collision best.
• Wearing your safety belt incorrectly could increase your risk of death
or serious injury in an accident. You could suer internal injuries, or
even slide out of part of the belt. Use the instrucons in this manual
to insure you and your passengers are wearing the safety belts
properly.
• Two people should never be belted into a single safety belt. People
belted together can crash into one another in an accident, causing
injury. Never use a lap/shoulder belt for more than one person, no
maer the size of the person.
