Warning: Using seat belts reduces the risk of being thrown from your vehicle in a
collision. If you do not install and use a shoulder harness with the seat (lap) belt,
serious or fatal injuries may happen in some collisions. Lap- only belts increase the
chance of spinal column and abdominal injuries—especially in children. Shoulder
harnesses may be available for your vehicle, if it is not already equipped with them.
The graphic illustrates what can happen in a collision. If you are struck from the
side, the impact could push you back and forth across the seat. Seat belts and
shoulder harnesses keep you in a better position to control the vehicle and may
minimize serious injuries.
The graphic also illustrates how, when you collide, your vehicle stops, but you keep
going at the same speed you were traveling, until you hit the dashboard or
windshield. At 30 mph this motion is equivalent to hitting the ground from the top
of a three-story building.
