Safety Belts: They’re
for Everyone
This part of the manual tells you how
to use safety belts properly. It
also tells
you some things you
should not do
with safety belts.
And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint, or “air bag”
system.

This figure lights up as a reminder to
buckle up. (See “Safety Belt Reininder

In many states and Canadian provinces,
the law says to wear safety belts. Here’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 mild, and some crashes
can be
so serious that even buckled up a
person wouldn’t survive. But most
;rashes are in between. In many of them,
people
who buckle up can survive and
sometimes walk away. Without belts they
could have been badly hurt or killed.
After more than
25 years of safety belts in
vehicles, the facts are clear. In most
crashes buckling up does matter
... a lot!
Why Safety Belts ;Work
When you ride in or on anything, you go
as fast as
it goes.
For example, if the bike
is goini.10 mph
(16 km/h), so is the child.

or the safety belts!
With safety belts, you slow down as the
vehicle does.
You get more time to stop.
You stop over more distance, and your
strongest bones take the forces. That’s
why safety belts make such good sense.

Here Are Questions
Many People Ask about
Safety Belts
- and the
Answers
Q: Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle
after an accident if I’m wearing
a
safety belt?
A: You could be - whether you’re
wearing a safety belt or not. But you
can easily unbuckle a safety belt, even
if you’re upside down. And your
chance of being conscious during and
after an accident,
so you can unbuckle
and get out,
is much greater if you are
belted.
Q: Why don’t they just put in air bags
so people won’t have to wear safety
belts?
A: Air bags, or Supplemental Inflatable
Restraint systems, are in some
vehicles today and will be
in more of
them in
the future. But they are
supplemental systems only
- so they
work safety belts, not instead of
them. Every air bag system ever
offered for sale has required the use of safety belts. Even
if you’re in a
vehicle that has
air bags, you still
have to buckle up
to get the most
protection. That’s true not only in frontal collisions, but especially in
side and other collisions.
Q: If I’m a good driver, and I never
drive far from home, why should I
wear safety belts?
A: You may be an excellent driver, but
if you’re
in an accident - even one
that isn’t your fault
- you and your .
passenger can be hurt. Being a good driver doesn’t protect you from things
beyond your control, such as bad
drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25 miles
(40 km) of home. And the greatest
number of serious injuries and deaths
occur at speeds of less than
40 mph
(65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
