You never know
if
you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a
crash, you don’t know
if
it will be a bad one.
A
few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be
so
serious that even buckled up, a person wouldn’t survive.
But
most
crashes are in between. In many
of
them,
people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk
away. Without belts they could have been badly hurt
or killed.
Why Safety Belts Work
When you ride in
or
on anything, you go as fast as
it goes.
After more than
30
years of safety belts in vehicles, the
facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up does
matter
...
a
lot!
Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it’s
just
a seat on
wheels.
