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
CAUTION:
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. jhoul-
