The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on
the hips,
just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies
force
to
the strong pelvic bones. And you'd be less likely
would apply force at your abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go
over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of
the body are best able
to
take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks
if
there's a sudden stop or a crash,
or
if
you pull the belt very quickly out of the retractor.

You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt
is
too
loose. In a crash, you would move
forward too much, which could increase injury.
The shoulder belt should fit against your body.
To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle.
