Incorrect (under arm)
WARNING! Do not wear the shoulder belt
under your arm or otherwise out of position.
In a crash your body would move too far for-
ward, increasing the chance of death or head
and neck injury. Also, the belt would apply too
much force to the ribs, which are not as
strong as your shoulder bones, and could
cause you to suffer internal injuries. Wear the
shoulder belt over your shoulder.
Be sure, also, that your belt is not too loose. A loose belt
could allow you to slide under it in an accident, and that
could bring the belt up around your abdomen.
WARNING! Do not drive with your seat belt
loose. A seat belt that is too loose can allow
you to fall too far forward, possibly causing
head and neck injuries, resulting in death or
personal injury. You could strike the wheel or
the windshield. Adjust your belt so that there
is no more than 1 in. (25mm) of slack.
Watch that you don’t twist the belt in the process of putting
it on. A twisted belt won’t work as well to protect you.
