Specifications

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,
or
if you pull the belt very quickly out of the retractor.
You can be seriously ..urt if bwdr 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.
