What is the correct way to buckle a safety belt?
1 Answers
The correct way to buckle a safety belt is to attach it high and fasten it low. This means securing the belt at a high point and working beneath it, which is a safer and more scientifically sound method. It reduces the actual impact distance in case of a fall. Below is more information about safety belts: 1. Before using a safety belt, try to pull out the waist belt as much as possible, adjust the buckle near the waist, and wrap the remaining belt over the shoulder. Adjust the shoulder strap length near the chest, leaving enough room to fit a fist. 2. How to check a safety belt: When pulling the belt down slowly by hand, it should smoothly extend from the retractor. If you pull the belt sharply, it should not move. Otherwise, the belt is faulty. To release the belt, press the button on the buckle.
