Why Safety Belts Work

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!

AN1 201 65

2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index) so you can sit
up straight.

If the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” \
at the end of this
section.
Make sure the release button on the buckle faces upward or outward
so you
would be able to unbuckle it quickly
if you ever had to.
AM120007
The lap part of the belt should be low and snug on the hips, just touching
the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelv\
ic bones. And
you’d be less likely to slide under the lap belt.
If you slid under it, the belt
would apply force at your abdomen. This could cause serious or\
even fatal
injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and ac\
ross the chest.
These parts of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks
if there’s a sudden stop or a crash.
