Don't
let anyone rid6 where
h
they can?
w e a r a safety
belt
properIy. If
YOU
are
in
a
crash and
you're not
wearing
a safety belt,
your injuries can be much worse.
You
can
hit
things
inside
the
vehicle
or
be ejected from
it.
You can
be
seriously injured or killed. In the
same crash,
you
might not
k
if
you
are buckled up.
Always
fasten your
safety belt,
and
check that your
passengers" belts
are
fastened
properly
too.
This figure lights up when you turn the
key to Run or Start when your safety belt
isn't buckled, and you'll hear a chime,
too. It's the reminder to buckle up.
In many states and Canadian provinces,
the law says to wear safety belts. Mere's
why: They work.
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 fxts are clear. In most crashes
buckling up does matter
...
a lot!
