How to Wear Safety Belts Properly

This section is only for people of adult size.

Be aware that there are special things to know about

safety belts and children. And there are different

rules for smaller children and babies. If a child will be

riding in your vehicle, see Older Children on page 1-35

or Infants and Young Children on page 1-38. Follow

those rules for everyone’s protection.

It is very important for all occupants to buckle up.

Statistics show that unbelted people are hurt more often

in crashes than those who are wearing safety belts.

Occupants who are not buckled up can be thrown out

of the vehicle in a crash. And they can strike others

in the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.

First, before you or your passenger(s) wear a safety

belt, there is important information you should know.

Sit up straight and always keep your feet on the ﬂoor in

front of you. 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 strong pelvic bones and you

would be less likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid

under it, the belt would apply force on 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.

The shoulder belt locks if there is a sudden stop or crash.
