(From the Civitan Magazine) Are seat belts proven ef fective? A. Yes. Scientific research, controlled tests, and studies have proven seat belts can save some 5,000 lives yearly and re- duce serious Injuries more than one-third if everybody used them. Q: What protection do seat belts giVe in case of collision? A. Seat belts reduce the “crash” within the crash. In an accident the car may stop sud denly, but not the people inside. Unless secured by seat belts, they keep moving until they strike the dashboard, windshield or some other interior object—or are hurled outside to the hard ground or pavement. Chances of being killed or injured are sev eral times greater if thrown from a car. Q: What if I’m caught in a burning or submerged car with my seat belt fastened? A. Less than one per cent of all injury - producing accidents in volve fire or submersion. Even in such instances, chances of re maining conscious in order to free yourself and escape are greatly increased when wearing a seat belt. —~ Q: Is it necessary to use seat belts on short trips to the store, office or on minor erands? A: Yes. Three out of four traf fic deaths ocur within 25 miles of home. One-half of traffic ac cidents involving injury or death occur at speeds of 40 miles an hour or less. Q: If I own a convertible wouldn’t I be safer if not strap ped in? A. In a convertible the great est danger is being pitched over the windshield or over the side. Seat belts, snugly fastened, help keep you secure within the car. Q: When should the seat belt be fastened? A: As soon ah the driver and passengers are seated in the car Once you have started to drive you may not have a chance to adjust the belt properly and comfortably. Q: Are seat belts necessary in rear seats? A. Yes! In a head-on crash, rear seat passengers may be thrown from the car against front seat pasengers. They can be hurled forward with such force that they may strike the dashboard or windshield with even greater impact than those seated in front. Q: Should more than one per son use a single belt? A. No. One pasenger could injure another fastened within the same seat \belt. The driver should always have a separate belt. Q: How tightly should the seat belt be fastened? A. A snug fit. Tight enough to hold the ocupant securely in place, but loose enough to be comfortable. In Memory of JAMES P.
