Why Safety Belts Work When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes. Put someone on it. Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it is just a seat on wheels. 22 - 2007 GMC Envoy | Owner's Manual - Page 23
Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider does not stop. The person keeps going until stopped by something. In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield... 23 - 2007 GMC Envoy | Owner's Manual - Page 24
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 is why safety belts make such good sense. 24 - 2007 GMC Envoy | Owner's Manual - Page 25
protect you from things beyond your control, such as bad drivers. Most accidents occur within 25 miles (40 km) of home. And systems only; so they work with safety belts - not instead of them.

if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury. The shoulder belt should fit against your body. A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It will not give nearly as much protection this way. 29 - 2007 GMC Envoy | Owner's Manual - Page 30
