Even if the car speed is very low, the force acting
on the human body in the event of a collision is so
great that the driver or passenger cannot control
his or her body with hands at all. In that case, the
driver or passenger who does not fasten the seat
belt will be thrown forward, and be injured in case
of collision against any interior objects.
Rear passengers must also fasten the seat belts
correctly, otherwise they will be thrown forward
when an accident occurs. The occupant who does
not fasten the seat belt will not only hurt himself or
herself, but also endanger other occupants in the
car.
