You can be seriously injured by
not wearing the lap-shoulder belt
properly. In a crash, you would

far forward increasing the chance
of head and neck injury. You
might also slide under the lap

be applied right on the abdomen.
That could cause serious or fatal
injuries. The shoulder belt should
go over the shoulder and across
the chest.
