.Seats & Restraint Systems
.I
You never know if you’ll be in a crash.
If you do have
a crash, you don’t lmow
if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are mild, and some
crashes can
be so serious that even
bucklkd 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 lulled.
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.
1. For example, if the bike is going 10
mph (16 km/h), so is the child.
2. When the bike hits the block, it
stops. But the child keeps going!
