It’s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up! Accident
statistics
show that unbelted people in the rear seat are hurt more often in
crashes than those who are wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted can be thrown out of the vehicle
in a crash. And they can strike others in the vehicle who are wearing
safety belts.
Rear Seat Outside Passenger Positions
