A CAUTION: I Don't let anyone ride where they can't wear a safety belt properly. If you are in a crash and you're not wearing a safety belt, your injuries can be much worse. You can hit things insidethe vehicle or be ejected from it. You can be seriously injured orkilled. In the same crash, you might not be if youare buckled up. Always fasten your safety belt, and check that your passengers' belts are fastened properly too. You never know if you'll be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you don't know if it will be abad one. A few crashes arevery mild. In them, you won't get hurt even if you're not buckled up. And some crashes can be so serious, like beinghit by a train, that even buckledup a personwouldn't survive. But most crashes are in between. In many of them, peoplewho buckle up can survive and sometimes walk away. Without belts they could be badly hurt or killed. 19
