Safety Belts: They’re

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

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.
. .
.I6
When the bike hits the block,
it
stops.
But
the
child keeps going!
Fdke
the simplest vehicle.
Suppose
it's
just
a
seat on wheels.
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
fmlt
-
you and your
passengers 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.
w
How
to Wear Safety
Belts Properly
Adults
This section
is
only for people
of
adult
size.
Be aware that there are special things to
know about safety belts and children.
And there are different rules for smaller
children and babies.
If
a child
will
be
riding
in
your Geo, see the section after
this one, called “Children.”
Follow
those
rules for everyone’s protection.

Nhen the key
is
turned to
