You can be seriously injured if
your belt is buckled in the
wrong place like this.
In
a crash,
the belt would
go
up over your
abdomen. The belt forces would
be there, not at the pelvic bones.
This could cause serious internal
injuries. Always buckle your belt
into the buckle nearest you.
Q:
What’s wrong with this?
A:
The shoulder belt is worn under the
arm.
It
should be worn over the
shoulder at all times.
You
can
be seriously injured
if
you wear the shoulder belt
under
your
arm.
In a crash,
your
body would move
too
far
forward,
which would increase
the
chance
of
head and neck injury. Also,
the
belt would apply too much force to
the
ribs,
which aren’t as strong as
shoulder
bones. You could
also
severely injure internal organs like
your liver
or
spleen.
Q:
What’s wrong with this?
A:
The belt is twisted across the body.

P
You can be seriously injured
L
by a twisted belt. In a crash,
you wouldn’t have the full width
of
the belt to take impact forces.
If
a
belt is twisted, make
it
straight so
it can work properly, or ask your
dealer to
fix
it.
