Reclining Seatbacks
{Warning
Sitting in a reclined position when the

Even when buckled up, the seat belts
cannot do their job.
The shoulder belt will not be against

receiving neck or other injuries.
The lap belt could go up over your
abdomen. The belt forces would be there,
not at your pelvic bones. This could cause
serious internal injuries.
