Your car has a light
that comes on as a
reminder to buckle up.

Why Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it
goes.
In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says
to
.f
wear
safety
belts.

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 mild, and some crashes can be
so
serious 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 have been badly hurt or killed.
After more than 25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the
facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up does matter
...
a lot!
Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it's just a seat on
wheels.
