What s the right way to wear your safety belt? Here the seatbelt is strapped acrossthe stomach where the belt itself could cause internal damage in a crash.
http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/kids/research/seatbelt/
Welcome Safety Fans! You've reached the seat belt room of the Research Lab. Did you know that seat belts are the MOST effective means of reducing fatalities and serious injuries in a traffic crash? It's true. In fact, seat belts save over 10,000 lives in America every year. The sad fact is that yearly thousands of people still die in traffic crashes. When a vehicle is involved in a crash, passengers are still traveling at the vehicles original speed at the moment of impact. When the vehicle finally comes to a complete stop, unbelted passengers slam into the steering wheel, windshield or other part of the vehicle's interior. (Ouch!) Seat belts are your best protection in a crash. They are designed so that the forces in a crash are absorbed by the strongest area of your body the bones of your hips, shoulders and chest. They keep you in place so that your head, face and chest are less likely to strike the windshield, dashboard, other vehicle interiors or other passengers. They also keep you from being thrown out of a vehicle. The Top 4 Reasons Why You Should Wear Your Seat Belt
  • Seat belts can save your life in a crash.

    If you drive in the City of Fullerton and think you can ignore the mandatory seatbelt and child safety seat laws and get away with it, think again! Fullerton police officers keep an eye out for seatbelt and safety seat violators because they know these items can literally mean the difference between life or death in an auto accident. And that’s why the Fullerton Police Department is joining law enforcement agencies throughout the state in conducting a “Seatbelt and Child Safety Seat Compliance Campaign” May 27-June 3. During that period, Fullerton officers will be assigned to specifically watch for seatbelt and safety seat infractions, and violators will be ticketed.

    How Seatbelts Work
    by Tom Harris Table of Contents Introduction to How Seatbelts Work Crashing Concepts Taking a Hit Extend and Retract The Pretensioner Load Limiters Lots More Information Shop or Compare Prices According to a recent research report from the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration , seatbelts save 13,000 lives in the United States each year. Meanwhile, the NHTSA estimates that 7,000 U.S. car accident fatalities would have been avoided if the victims had been wearing belts. While seatbelts do occasionally contribute to serious injury or death, nearly all safety experts agree that buckling up dramatically increases your chances of surviving an accident. According to the NHTSA, seatbelts reduce the risk of death for a front seat car occupant by about 50 percent. When you think about it, this is absolutely amazing: How can a piece of fabric end up being the difference between life and death? What does it actually do? In this article, we'll examine the technology of seatbelts to see why they are one of the most important technologies in any car.

    85. Seatbelt Physics
    From Leonard Evans, The Science of Traffic safety , The Physics Teacher 26, October1988, Page 431, Table I. Data on seatbelt effectiveness was obtained by
    http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/seatb2.html
    When would you be better off not wearing your seatbelt?
    My friend Eddie's Uncle Joe heard about this truck driver who narrowly avoided a fiery wreck by plunging his truck through the gaurdrail and down a 100 meter cliff. If he had had his seatbelt on, he would never have been able to jump out at the last second and hang on to the gaurdrail.
    Maybe so.
    But the work-energy principle must be satisfied in every collision, and it dictates that the work done in stopping the driver must be equal to the driver's kinetic energy . The shorter the stopping distance, the greater the impact force . And cases where the seatbelt would not lengthen your stopping distance and decrease your impact force are about as rare as this kind of accident. Rather than making judgements about safety from anecdotes like the one above, it is wise to consider the evidence from the large database on traffic fatalities Index
    Work-energy principle

    Car crash scenario
    ... Mechanics R Nave Go Back
    While the driver with an airbag may experience the same average impact force as the driver with a good seatbelt , the airbag exerts an equal pressure on all points in contact with it according to Pascal's principle . The same force is distributed over a larger area, reducing the maximum pressure on the body.

Smoking on Aircraft Seatbelt and Child Safety Seat Regulatory Requirements
    International and local civil aviation regulations require that passengers fasten seatbelts when the "fasten seatbelt" sign is illuminated. Seatbelts must be securely fastened for take off, landing and during turbulence. Seatbelts should be fastened throughout flight, in case unexpected turbulence is encountered.
    Crew Member Responsibilities
    The Captain has overall responsibility for passenger safety on flights.
    The "fasten seatbelt" sign is illuminated for take off, landing and in flight, if turbulence is forecasted or encountered. Usually, an advisory announcement is made to passengers when turbulent conditions are expected or encountered, and a request made that they fasten their seatbelts.
    Cabin crew members are responsible for: Briefing passengers on how to fasten, tighten and unfasten seatbelts;

    In the morning when I go to school, I grab my book bag it's really cool. We can't go 'till I follow the rules. I sit in the back and I get strapped in
    Put your seatbelt on, You'd better put your seatbelt on. Before you get to go in the car, don't you know You'd better put your seatbelt on.
    When we have to go far away, We get in the van and drive all day. Mommy and Daddy don't have to say To get in the back and I get strapped in
    Put your seatbelt on, You'd better put your seatbelt on. Before you get to go in the car, don't you know You'd better put your seatbelt on.

    Women, Children and Airbags The Basic Facts and How to Stay Safe by Cathy Nikkel Illustration from National Highway Traffic Safety Admininstration shows the wrong and right way to sit in a driver's seat. Hints: Move seat rearward, buckle up, recline back of seat and tilt wheel down. A irbags were installed in autos in the late 1980s to save lives in crashes, and 7,000 hearts are statistically still beating because of airbags. But this life-saving technology has also killed 175 children and small-stature women. How can this happen and what can an at-risk woman do to protect herself? Airbags are designed to cushion occupants as the force of a front-end crash pushes them forward. By providing a cushion, an airbag keeps the occupant's head, neck and chest from hitting the steering wheel or dashboard. To perform well, an airbag must deploy quickly and forcefully. The force is greatest in the first 2-3 inches after the airbag bursts through its cover and begins to inflate. The force decreases as the airbag inflates farther.

    Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Belt Partnership View this page in Español On December 9, 2003, the U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta announced a new national public-private partnership to combat low safety belt use among the nation's commercial motor vehicle drivers. The announcement was prompted by a new national study released by the Secretary that found only 48 percent of all commercial vehicle drivers wear safety belts. Nationally, 79 percent of passenger vehicle drivers wear safety belts. In comparison, the low number of truck drivers buckling up has taken a severe toll. In 2002, of the 588 commercial drivers killed in crashes more than half were not wearing safety belts. Of the 171 drivers who were ejected from their trucks, almost 80 percent of them were not wearing safety belts.

    Click It or Ticket campaigns and similar efforts have increased safety belt use in cities, States and even in an entire region of the country. In New Jersey, 267 police agencies participated in the May 2003 Click It or Ticket Enforcement Mobilization. As a result of the enforcement and public information efforts, New Jersey's seat belt usage rate has risen to an all-time high of 81.2%. Why are law enforcement officers concentrating on teens during the Mobilization?
    Teens are at the greatest risk of being killed or injured in traffic crashes. In 2001, 3,322 teens were killed in motor vehicles crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This is nine teens a day. Many of these deaths could easily be prevented by the consistent use of safety belts. Sixty-five percent of the young people who were killed in motor vehicle crashes were not wearing a safety belt.
