seat belts

Seat belts are safety devices in vehicles designed to secure passengers during a crash. They work by restraining the body, reducing the risk of injury by distributing the force of the impact over stronger parts of the body, like the pelvis and chest. When fastened, seat belts help keep occupants in their seats and prevent them from being thrown around or ejected from the vehicle. Many countries have laws requiring the use of seat belts, as they significantly increase the chances of survival and reduce the severity of injuries in accidents.
