Seat belt can save your life (only if you wear it properly) while driving or riding in a vehicle.
Shoulder belt should go over your shoulder, not under your arm, and it should be snug to your body. If the shoulder belt is worn incorrectly and you are in an accident, it could crush your ribs or injure your internal organs. The lap belt should be worn nice and low over your hips, not across your stomach.
How to wear Seat Belt (Properly).
Shoulder belt should go over your shoulder, not under your arm, and it should be snug to your body. If the shoulder belt is worn incorrectly and you are in an accident, it could crush your ribs or injure your internal organs. The lap belt should be worn nice and low over your hips, not across your stomach.5 Most Important reasons WHY TO USE SEAT BELT.
1. It's the law in every country every where in the world (except state of New Hampshire).
2. Seat belt keeps you from being thrown from your vehicle.
3. Your face is near likely to windshield if you're wearing a seat belt because it stops your inertia. If your car is going 60-80 miles an hour and suddenly stops, your face won't hit the windshield going 60-80 miles an hour.
4. Airbags are less effective and may be useless if you're not wearing a seat belt; you can still be thrown from your car and bang against its parts and passengers. Also, your body may not remain in a position that benefits from the protection of an airbag if you're not buckled into your seat.
5. It helps keep pregnant women alive, which is the number one thing a woman can do to protect her unborn child in a car. Pregnant women are advised to wear the lap belt low (not against the abdomen) so that it pulls downward on the pelvic bones.
