What Should the Correct Fastening Point of a Seat Belt Look Like?
1 Answers
The correct fastening point for a seat belt follows the principle of 'high anchor, low buckle.' This means the belt should be anchored at a higher point while the person works beneath it, creating a safer and more scientifically sound method. This setup reduces the actual impact distance in the event of a fall. Additionally, it is essential to correctly wear a three-point lap belt. The lap belt should be worn as low as possible, around the hips rather than the waist. The shoulder belt should not be placed under the arm but should instead cross the chest diagonally. Seat belts are designed for individual use only; sharing a belt between two people is strictly prohibited. Avoid twisting the belt during use. Below is more information about seat belts: Before using a seat belt, pull out the lap belt as much as possible and adjust the buckle near the waist. The remaining part of the belt can be looped back over the shoulder, with the shoulder strap adjusted to fit snugly across the chest, leaving enough room to fit a fist. To inspect a seat belt, slowly pull the belt downward by hand—it should smoothly extend from the retractor. If you pull the belt sharply, it should lock and not extend. If it does not lock, the belt is faulty. To release the belt after use, simply press the button on the buckle.
