Questions and Answers About
Safety Belts
Q:
Won’t
I
be
trapped in the vehicle after an
accident if
I’m wearing a safety
belt?
A:
You
could
be
-
whether you’re wearing a safety
belt or not. But you can unbuckle a safety belt,
even
if
you’re 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 air bags, why should
I
have to
wear safety
belts?
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’s why
safety belts make such good sense.
A:
Air bags 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 air bag
system ever offered for sale has required the use
of
safety belts. Even
if
you’re in a vehicle that has
air bags, you still have to buckle up to get the most
protection. That’s true not only in frontal collisions,
but especially in side and other collisions.
