A A safety belt that is twisted or not properly attached won’t provide I
1 the protection needed in a crash. The person wearing the belt could
be seriously injured. After installing the seat, always check to be sure
that the safety belts are not twisted and are properly attached.
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.
Don’t let anyone ride where they can’t wear a safety belt properly.
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
y% , &: crash, you might not be if you are buckled up. Always fasten your
ik:: safety belt, and check that your passengers’ belts are faste\
ned
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 buzzer or tone,
too. It’s the
reminder to .buckle
up. 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 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 an\
d sometimes
walk away. Without belts they could be badly hurt
or killed.

After 25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In most crashes
buckling up does matter . . . a lot!

Why Safety Belts Work
AM115001 AMllbUd2
When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes. For example, if
the bike is going 10 mph (16 km/h), so is the child. When the bike hits the
block, it stops.
But the child keeps going!
