injuries. Always buckle your belt
into the buckle nearest you.

which would increase the chance
of head and neck injury. Also, the

the ribs, which aren't as strong as
shoulder bones. You could also
severely injure internal organs like
your liver or spleen.

be seriously injured
by a twisted belt. In a crash,

the belt to take impact forces. If a
belt is twisted, make it straight so
it can work properly,
or gsk your
dealer to fix it.
