Q:

What’s wrong with this?

A:

The shoulder belt is too loose. It won’t give nearly
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 against your body.
