The dangers of wearing your seatbelt incorrectly revealed
https://www.motoring.com.au
Ever pondered the consequences of not wearing your seatbelt correctly in the event of accident?
The NSW Centre for Road Safety has shown the sobering results after conducting a test at its Crashlab facility recently.
Using two dummies – one with the seatbelt worn incorrectly under the arm and the other travelling in a reclined seat, or ‘low riding’ – the centre stowed a Toyota Camry into a wall at 60km/h.
The first dummy wearing a seatbelt under the arm is seen propelled forward into the dashboard, an event that would leave a grim prognosis in a real-life accident, according to stakeholders. The other passenger, seen ‘low riding’, also suffers dire consequences.
“All the force is applied to the abdomen which would probably result in injuries to the liver, spleen, anything within the abdomen,” said Dr Jeremy Hsu, head of Trauma and a surgeon at the Westmead Hospital.
“When it came to the low rider test, [there is] a very high-risk of death and permanent disability.”
