or the safety belts!

With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does.
You get more time to stop. You stop over more distance,
and your strongest bones take the forces. That is why
safety belts make such good sense.

Questions and Answers About Safety
Belts

Q: Will I be trapped in the vehicle after a crash if I

am wearing a safety belt?

A:

You

could

be

whether you are wearing a safety

belt or not. But your chance of being conscious
during and after an accident, so you

can

unbuckle

and get out, is

much

greater if you are belted. And

you can unbuckle a safety belt, even if you are
upside down.

Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why should I have to

wear safety belts?

A:

Airbags are supplemental systems only; so they
work

with

safety belts

not instead of them.

Whether or not an airbag is provided, all occupants
still have to buckle up to get the most protection.
That is true not only in frontal collisions, but
especially in side and other collisions.
