22 Seats & Restraints

Warning

• Safety belts have been shown to

be the single most effective

protection against injury or death

in a vehicular accident!

• As the owner and driver of your

vehicle, you must make certain

that each occupant is properly

wearing the safety belt provided at

the seating position.

• Pregnant women, injured, and

physically impaired persons

should also wear safety belts. Like

all other occupants, they are more

likely to suffer serious injury or

death, if they do not do so.

• The best way to protect the foetus

is to protect the mother.

Warning

• Why safety belts work, how to

wear them, and how to adjust your

seat position properly, is

explained in this section. Read all

of the information provided and

always observe these instructions

and warnings in order to gain the

full benefit of these safety

systems.

Safety belts cannot work unless they are

worn and worn properly.

Vehicle occupants are injured if the

forces applied to the body’s structures

are greater than the body can tolerate

without being injured. If a person’s

body is stopped abruptly, the forces

applied to the body will be high,

whereas if the body is slowed down

gradually over some distance, the

forces will be much lower. Thus, in

order to protect an occupant from injury

in a crash, the idea is to give the person

as much time and distance as possible in

coming to a stop.

Imagine a person running at 15 miles

per hour (25 km/h) head first into a

concrete wall. Imagine a second person

running at 15 miles per hour into a wall

covered by a 3-foot (90 cm) thick

deformable cushion. In the first

instance the person could be seriously

injured or even killed. In the second, the

runner could expect to walk away
