Without properly buckled seat belts and correctly adjusted seats, the occupants will continue moving toward the point of impact, risking serious injury to themselves. At any time, occupants who do not wear their seat belts can become very dangerous projectiles for the other occupants. The same is true of loose objects or baggage and unrestrained animals.
Did you know?
At 50 km/h, the pressure on moving bodies multiplies their weight by 35 at the moment of impact. A harmless object like a box of facial tissues can turn into a cannonball!
