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 an
accident if I am wearing a safety belt?

A:

You

could

be — whether you are wearing a

safety belt or not. But you can unbuckle a
safety belt, even if you are upside down. And
your chance of being conscious during and
after an accident, 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 safety belts?

A:

Airbags are in many vehicles today and will be
in most of them in the future. But they are
supplemental systems only; so they work

with

safety belts — not instead of them. Every
airbag system ever offered for sale has
required the use of safety belts. Even if you
are in a vehicle that has airbags, you 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.
