How Seat Belts Saves Lives
When you sit in the vehicle, you are
travelling at the speed of the vehicle.
An accident will cause a sudden
deceleration of the vehicle. An unrestrained
passenger will continue to move forward
until obstructed by the interior components
of the vehicle (i. e. steering wheel,
instrument panel, windscreen, etc.). This
increases the risk of severe or even fatal
injuries.
With the seat belt fastened, passengers will
be restrained to the vehicle and will have a
controlled deceleration. Thus the risk of
injury is greatly reduced.
