after an accident if
I’m wearing a
safety belt?

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,

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?

future. But they are supplemental
