What are the methods and precautions for using seat belts?
1 Answers
Seat belt usage methods and precautions are: 1. First adjust the height of the seat belt. If it is too high, it may easily strangle the neck during emergency tightening, potentially causing unnecessary injuries; if it is too low, it may not fully restrain the body from lunging forward, and slipping off the shoulder would be dangerous. 2. After fastening the seat belt, it should not be too loose or too tight. Leaving about two fingers' width is most appropriate, ensuring safety without causing discomfort. A seat belt is a vehicle safety device designed to protect vehicle occupants from harmful movements that may occur during collisions or sudden stops. The function of seat belts is to reduce the possibility of death or serious injury in traffic collisions by minimizing secondary impact forces that pose internal collision risks. They also ensure the maximum effectiveness of airbags by properly positioning occupants and prevent occupants from being ejected from the vehicle or experiencing vehicle rollover during a collision.
