is primarily true in case
of frontal impacts, which are the
most frequent type of accident. Shoulder
belts are fastened and
unfastened in the same manner
as
lap belts. A shoulder belt should
have sufficient slack to insert a fist's
width between your chest and the
belt. This can be checked by insert
ing a clenched
fist between the belt
and your chest with thumb against
chest and back of hand facing up
