BDifficulty 2/5

Among these passive safety systems, which, correctly positioned and adjusted, helps reduce the risk of an occupant sliding beneath the lap strap in a collision?

Correct answer

The seat belt.

The seat belt. Submarining means sliding beneath its lap strap. Keep that strap low over the pelvis; the diagonal strap should pass over the collarbone, between neck and shoulder, close to the chest. Avoid slack, clips, items that promote sliding and an excessively reclined backrest. An airbag complements the belt rather than replacing it; no measure guarantees prevention of every injury.
