Safety Belts: A Human Protector
National Football League star Derrick Thomas died suddenly Tuesday morning; two weeks after an automobile accident left him paralyzed from the chest down. ... To understand the value of safety belt use, its important to understand some of the dynamics of a crash. ...
Seat belts are estimated to save 9,500 lives in America each year. ... The only person who survived that high-speed crash was properly restrained in the front seat and had an air bag; the driver and back seat passengers who were not wearing seat belts were killed. ...
When lap and shoulder belts are used correctly, they reduce the risk of fatal injury to front-seat passengers by 45 percent and the risk of moderate to critical injury by 50 percent. Seat belts provide the greatest protection against ejection, one of the worst things that can happen to a person in a crash — three-quarters of those who are ejected from cars are killed.
