How to wear a seat belt correctly?

The first thing many people do when they get in the car is to wear a seat belt, and this action has almost become a habit. But have you ever thought about is your way of wearing it really correct? Many people actually didn't grasp the key points from beginning to end, and even made the seat belt "ineffective" without knowing it. Let's talk about how to wear a seat belt correctly and some details that need to be paid attention to today.

Step 1: Adjust your sitting posture

Don't rush to pull the seat belt, adjust your sitting posture first. The correct driving sitting posture is to keep your back close to the seat back and sit firmly, not half-lying or leaning. Only with the correct sitting posture can the seat belt fit your body and play a real protective role.

If you are a co-pilot or a back passenger, you must also sit upright. If you don't fasten the seat belt while leaning, leaning, or lying, the protective effect will be greatly reduced if something goes wrong.

Step 2: Lower belt presses hips instead of stomach

Pull the lower belt part of the seat belt (that is, the waist belt part) down a little bit, press it above the hip bone. Don't let it press on the stomach, especially after eating.

Why can't it press on the stomach? Because once a collision occurs, the strong impact will directly act on the internal organs, which is easy to cause serious injuries. Pressing on the bones can better disperse the impact and protect your body.

Step 3: Shoulder belt close to the chest but not the neck

The upper belt of the seat belt should cross the chest from the middle of your shoulders, as close to the body as possible, but not press on the neck. If you find that the shoulder belt is too close to the neck or always slips off, it is recommended to adjust the seat height or use the original height adjustment device of the vehicle.

Note that you must not clamp the shoulder belt under your arm or carry it behind your back. This practice has no protective effect in an accident and may cause more serious injuries.

Step 4: Tighten, don't leave any slack

After fastening, pull the seat belt out slightly with your hands, then put it back and let it tighten automatically. You should be able to feel it sticking to your body, but it won't be uncomfortable. If it's too loose, you will slide forward when the impact comes, which means you will be protected "one step later", which is too late.

Tips: Don't be lazy at these times

- Back seat passengers must also wear it: Many people think that the back seat is not dangerous, but it is not at all. Passengers flying out of the back seat in a car accident can hit the front seat or even fly out of the car.

- Pregnant women also need to wear it, but the method is particular: The shoulder straps should still pass between the chests, and the waist belt should be placed under the belly, sticking to the thighs and pelvis to avoid compressing the abdomen.

- Be careful with thick clothes: Wearing thick down jackets in winter can easily make the seat belt "hanging" and not close to the body. At this time, it is recommended to take off the coat as much as possible before wearing it, or tighten the seat belt a little.

Last words

It is not difficult to wear a seat belt correctly, but there are many small details to pay attention to. Don't underestimate this small action, it may be the difference between life and death at a critical moment. I hope that next time you get in the car, you will not "pull it habitually", but seriously protect yourself.
