Safety Belts: They’re For Everyone
This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts
properly. It also tells
you some things you should not do
with safety belts.
And it explains the Supplemental Restraint System, or
“air bag” system. This figure lights
up as
a reminder
to buckle
up. (See “Safety Belt
Warning Light”
in the
Index.)
In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says
to
wear safety belts. Here’s why: They work.
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.

After more than 25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the
facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up does matter
... a lot!

Why Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it
goes.
For example, if the bike is going 10 mph (16 km/h), so
is the child.
