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.
