Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider doesn't stop. The person keeps going until stopped by something. In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield... 1-10 - 2004 Cadillac DeVille | Owner's Manual - Page 17
or the instrument panel... or the safety belts! With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. You get more time to stop. You stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the forces. That's why safety belts make such good sense. 1-11 - 2004 Cadillac DeVille | Owner's Manual - Page 18
