3. To make the lap part tight, pull down on the buckle
end of the belt as you pull up on the shoulder part.
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 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.
