3-Point Seat Belt: A seat belt with both a lap and a shoulder
portion, having three contact points (one shoulder, two hips).

deploys during a crash to act as a cushion for the occupant.
It creates a broad surface on which to spread the forces of
the crash, to reduce head and chest injury. It is considered
"supplementary" to the lap/shoulder belts because it enhances
the protection the belt system offers in frontal crashes. Also
known as SRS - Supplemental Restraint System; SIR –
Supplemental Inflatable Restraint; IC – Inflatable Curtain; SIAB
– Side Impact AirBag.
