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.
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.
