Seating and Safety Restraints Reasons given..."I was in a hurry" Consider...Prime time for an accident. Belt-Minder௡ reminds us to take a few seconds to buckle up. Safety belts, when used properly, reduce risk of death to front seat occupants by 45% in cars, and by 60% in light trucks. Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in single-vehicle crashes, many when no other vehicles are around. Possibly, but a serious crash can do much more than wrinkle your clothes, particularly if you are unbelted. Set the example, teen deaths occur 4 times more often in vehicles with TWO or MORE people. Children and younger brothers/sisters imitate behavior they see. Airbags offer greater protection when used with safety belts. Frontal airbags are not designed to inflate in rear and side crashes or rollovers. Not a good idea. People who are ejected are 40 times more likely to DIE. Safety belts help prevent ejection, WE CAN'T "PICK OUR CRASH". "Safety belts don't work" "Traffic is light" "Belts wrinkle my clothes" "The people I'm with don't wear belts" "I have an airbag" "I'd rather be thrown clear" 215 2010 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide (own2002), 1st Printing USA (fus)
