Is Replacing Seat Belts a Sign of a Major Accident?
1 Answers
This is not necessarily the case, as seat belts may require replacement due to other issues, and the vehicle's frame condition should also be inspected. Below is relevant information: 1. Introduction: A seat belt is a vehicle safety device designed to protect vehicle occupants from harmful movements caused by collisions or sudden stops. 2. Function: The purpose of seat belts is to reduce the likelihood of death or serious injury in traffic collisions by minimizing secondary impact forces that pose internal collision risks. They ensure proper occupant positioning to maximize the effectiveness of airbags (if equipped) and prevent occupants from being ejected from the vehicle or experiencing rollovers during a collision.
