Q:

What is wrong with this?

A:

The shoulder belt is too loose. It will not give as
much protection this way.

{

CAUTION:

You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder
belt is too loose. In a crash, you would move
forward too much, which could increase injury.
The shoulder belt should fit snugly against
your body.
