Questions and Answers About
Safety
Belts
Q:
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
can
unbuckle and get out, is
much
greater
if
you are belted.
Q:
If
my
vehicle
has
air bags, why should
I
have to
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 especiaiiy in side and other coiiisions.
