WARNING
!
Twisted Seat Belts:Twisted seat belts can cause
injury. In a collision, the full
width of the belt isn’t available to
absorb the impact. This puts more
force on the bones beneath the
belt, which could break them or
cause other serious injury or
death. Don’ t wear twisted seat
belts.
WARNING
!
One Belt, One Passenger:Using one seat belt for more than
one person at a time is dangerous.
A seat belt used in this way can’ t
spread the impact forces properly
and the two passengers could be
crushed together and seriously
injured or even killed. Never use
one belt for more than one person
at a time.
