Questions and Answers About Seat Belts

Q: Will I be trapped in the vehicle after a

crash if I am wearing a seat belt?

A:

You

could

be

whether you are

wearing a seat belt or not. Your chance
of being conscious during and after a
crash, so you

can

unbuckle and get out,

is

much

greater if you are belted.

Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why should I

have to wear seat belts?

A:

Airbags are supplemental systems only.
They work

with

seat belts

not instead

of them. Whether or not an airbag is
provided, all occupants still have to
buckle up to get the most protection.

Also, in nearly all states and in all
Canadian provinces, the law requires
wearing seat belts.

How to Wear Seat Belts Properly

Follow these rules for everyone's protection.

There are additional things to know about
seat belts and children, including smaller
children and infants. If a child will be riding
in the vehicle, see

. Review

and follow the rules for children in addition
to the following rules.

It is very important for all occupants to
buckle up. Statistics show that unbelted
people are hurt more often in crashes than
those who are wearing seat belts.

There are important things to know about
wearing a seat belt properly.

.

Sit up straight and always keep your feet
on the floor in front of you (if possible).

.

Always use the correct buckle for your
seating position.

.

Wear the lap part of the belt low and
snug on the hips, just touching the
thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the

strong pelvic bones and you would be
less likely to slide under the lap belt.
If you slid under it, the belt would apply
force on your abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries.

.

Wear the shoulder belt over the shoulder
and across the chest. These parts of the
body are best able to take belt
restraining forces. The shoulder belt locks
if there is a sudden stop or crash.

Warning

You can be seriously injured, or even
killed, by not wearing your seat belt
properly.
