Seats & Safety Belts
b
You never know if you'll be in a crash.
If you do have a crash, you don't know
if it will
be a bad one.
A few crashes are very mild. In them,
you won't get hurt even
if
you're not
buckled up. And some crashes can be so
serious, like being
hit
by a train, that
even buckled up a person wouldn't
survive. But most crashes are in
between. In many of them, people who
buckle up can survive and sometimes
walk away. Without belts they could be
badly hurt or killed.
After 25 years of safety belts in
vehicles, the facts are clear. In most
crashes buckling up does matter
. . .
a
lot!

Why
Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you
go as fast as it goes.
For example, if the bike is going
10 mph (16 km/h), so is the child.
When the bike hits the block,
it
stops.
But the child keeps going!
