or the safety belts!
With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does.
You get more time to stop. You stop over more distance,
and your strongest bones take the forces. That’s why
safety belts make such good sense.
Questions and Answers About
Safety Belts
Q:
Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle after an
accident if I’m wearing a safety belt?
A:
You could be — whether you’re wearing a safety belt
or not. But you can unbuckle a safety belt, even if
you’re upside down. And your chance of being
conscious during and after an accident, so you
can
unbuckle and get out, is much greater if you are
belted.
Q:
If my vehicle has airbags, why should I have to
wear safety belts?
A:
Airbags are in many vehicles today and will be in
most of them in the future. But they are supplemental
systems only; so they work
with safety belts — not
instead of them. Every airbag system ever offered
for sale has required the use of safety belts. Even if
you’re in a vehicle that has airbags, you still have to
buckle up to get the most protection. That’s true not
only in frontal collisions, but especially in side and
other collisions.
