	Seat Belts: Stay Safe and Secure
		A seat belt should not be worn twisted, as the full width of the belt is required to spread motor vehicle collision forces across the body.
		Wearing a seat belt loosely or placing the shoulder belt under the arm or behind your back instead of across the chest, could, in the case of a collision or sudden stop, result in an injury-producing impact with the vehicle interior, or ejection from the vehicle.
		To effectively use a seat belt, a child must be able to sit with legs bent comfortably over the vehicle seat and with his or her back fully against the back of the vehicle seat.

	Seat belt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Seat belts are intended to reduce injuries by stopping the wearer from hitting hard interior elements of the vehicle or from being thrown from the vehicle.
		Seat belts were first invented by George Cayley in the 1800s.
		Seat belts were introduced in aircraft for the first time in 1913, by Adolphe Pegoud, who became the first man to fly a plane upside-down.

	Seat Belt Syndrome
		A child who is too small for the seat belt system tends to slouch down until their knees reach the edge of the seat.
		During a crash, using a lap belt alone, the body is propelled forward, jack-knifing over the lap belt that can cause serious internal injuries, and the head strikes the back of the front seat, rolling backward as the body continues in its downward arc, breaking the neck.
		Unfortunately, this child was too small to be in a seat belt alone, and was not in a child safety seat that could have saved her life.

	Auto Safety
		Infant car seats should always be installed to face the rear of the car because in a crash an infant's soft spinal column can stretch and the spinal cord can be damaged if he or she is riding facing forward.
		Convertible seats are the only type of seats that are placed in different positions depending on your child's age: They face toward the rear until your baby is 20 to 35 pounds (10 to 16 kilograms) and at least 1 year old and can be turned to face forward after that.
		A child may stop using a booster seat when the child is big enough to use the vehicle's lap and shoulder belts while sitting with his or her back against the vehicle's seat back and his or her knees bent over the edge of the seat without slouching.

	Seat Belt Defects
		The Takata seat belt buckles manufactured by Takata Corporation were used in nearly in all the FRONT seats and some BACK seats of nine million cars, trucks and sport utility vehicles (SUV) between 1986 and 1991.
		When the shoulder belt was slack, one could tug slightly downward on the belt causing the retractor to activate and the belt to tighten up against the body.
		In other words, if the belt is connected to the door and the door opens in a crash then the occupant is effectively left unrestrained and subject to the perils associated with ejection.

		The lap belt or lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt should be adjusted so it is low and snug across the pelvis/lap area.
		Holding you in your seat with a safety belt allows you to stop as the car is stopping, thereby enabling you to "ride-down" the crash.
		During a crash, safety belts distribute the forces of rapid deceleration over larger and stronger parts of the body such as the chest, hips and shoulders.

	The Great Seat Belt Debate
		Lap belts (left) are a 2-point belt system that anchors the user on both the right and left side of their lap.
		Lap/shoulder belts (right) are a 3-point belt system that anchors the user on both the right and left side of their lap AND at the shoulder, typically nearest the side door.
		However, since lap/shoulder belts are now far and away the most prevalent type of "belt" system in passenger motor vehicles, it is likely that many people who read or hear the terms "seat belt" or "safety belt" believe that it referred to lap/shoulder belts, when if fact the term referred to lap belts.

	Seat belt legislation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Seat belt legislation is a law or laws put in place to enforce or require the wearing of seat belts while person is driving, or there are passengers in the front or back seats.
		As a result of such predictions the use of seat belts by vehicle occupants was made compulsory in Victoria, Australia in 1970, followed by the rest of Australia and other countries during the 1970s and 1980s.
		Belt laws, which tend to lead to substantial changes in wearing rates over very short periods, would, if the predictions of up to 50% reductions in fatalities are correct, be expected to demonstrate large scale step changes in fatality figures.

		To put on a seat belt and surrender to the thinking of those who are of a Darwinist mindset, is a denial of this inner higher reality -- and it would be paramount to worshiping a false god of this world.

		Although belt use has risen from 58 percent in 1997 to 71 percent, according to the report, the nation failed to achieve a Clinton administration goal of 85 percent.

		According to the report, safety campaigns that focus only on driver education are ineffective in raising seat belt use and lowering fatalities on the road.

	Seat Belts Should Fit EVERY Body: How to Get Seat Belt Extenders for Your Vehicle
		This is done by providing a seat belt extender, which is a piece of seat belt material about 8" long with a buckle on the end of it that clicks into the existing seat belt.
		I doubt if all the seat belt extenders will be offered for free but it seems really strange to me that some dealerships (individually owned, I was told) are aware and supportive of the problem while Saturn itself is not.
		The extenders are abailable in 9", 12" and 15" extension for the front belts, 9" and 12" for rear lapbelts, and 9", 12" and 15" extension for rear 3-point belts.
