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 hps,
just
touching
the
thighs.
In
a crash, this applies force
tc
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 shoulde:
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 a crash.
