end of the belt as you pull up on the shoulder part.
The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on

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.
