Q:
What’s wrong with this?
L
A:
The shoulder belt
is
worn under the arm. It should
be worn over the shoulder at all times.
You can be seriously injured
if
you wear the
shoulder belt under your arm.
In
a crash, your
body would move too far forward, which would
increase the chance
of
head and neck injury.
Also, the belt would apply too much force
to
the ribs, which aren’t
as
strong as shoulder
bones.
You
could also severely injure internal
,
organs like your liver or spleen.
