What is the correct way to use a double-hook safety belt?
2 Answers
The service life of a double-hook safety rope is generally 3 to 5 years, and it should be scrapped in advance if any abnormalities are found. The waist belt, safety belt, and rope of the double-hook safety rope should have sufficient mechanical strength, the material should be wear-resistant, and the snap hook (hook) should have a safety device. Before using the double-hook safety rope, a visual inspection should be conducted.
Once when a friend almost got strangled in my car, I realized many people don't know how to use the dual-buckle seatbelt. The key lies in those two metal hooks: first firmly grasp the shoulder strap buckle until you hear the 'click' sound for proper engagement. The waist belt's metal hook must find the dedicated anchor point on the side of the seat - never attach it to the child seat interface! When tightening the waist belt, press it against your pelvis with just enough slack to fit one palm. Before mountain driving, I always give two extra tugs to confirm it's locked - this habit saved me from hitting the steering wheel during an emergency brake on a rainy day. Remember: the shoulder belt must lie flat across your shoulder, never over bulky winter coats or wrapped around your arm - your forearm would fracture in a collision.
