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’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.

The safety belt locks

if

there’s a sudden stop or a crash.
