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, And

it

explains the Supplemental

Inflatable Restraint, or

“air

bag”

system.

:his

figure lights up as a reminder to

buckle up. (See

“Safety

Belt Reminder

Jght” in the Index.)

n

many states

and

Canadian provinces,

he

law says to wear

safety

belts.

Here’s

vhy:

Thev

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 mild,

and

some crashes

can be

so

sieri~u~ 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

and

sometimes

walk

away. Without belts

they

could have been badly

hurt

or

killed.

After more

than

25

years of safety belts

in

vehicles, the facts

are

clear.

In

most

crashes buckling up does matter

...

a lot!

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

(1

kmk),

so

is

the child.

When the bike hits the block,

it

stops.

But

the child keeps going!

Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it's

just

seat on wheels.
