.A
The lap part
of
the belt should be worn low and snug
on
the
hips,
just touching the thighs.
In
a
crash, this
applies
force to 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 shoulder 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.
,A
CAU1
You
can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt
is
too loose. In
a
crash,
you
would move forward
too much, which could increase injury. The
shoulder belt should
fit
against your body.
