In case of a frontal collision accident, the
occupants who are not belted up are
thrown forwards and collide with parts of
the vehicle interior, e.g. the steering
wheel, instrument panel or windscreen.
Vehicle occupants who are not belted in
may even be thrown out of the vehicle.
This could even lead to serious injuries.
The wide spread opinion that you can pro-
tect your body with your hands in the
event of a light accident is not correct.
Even at low speeds of collision, forces
which cannot be deflected act on the
body.

It is also important that occupants sitting
in the rear seats are belted in as they can
also be thrown out of the vehicle in the
event of an accident. Somebody sitting in
the rear and not using a seat belt is
endangering not only himself but also the
occupants of the front seats.
