You
can be seriously injured
b
if you wear the shoulder belt
under your arm. In
a
crash, your
body would move too far forward,
which would increase the chance
of head and neck injury. Also, the
belt would apply too much force to
the ribs, which aren't as strong as
shoulder bones. You could also
severely injure internal organs like
your liver or spleen.
