loses effectiveness and may cause injuries during the accident.
The webbing should lie flat, untwisted and snug against the body without slack. The diagonal belt passes over the shoulder and centre of the chest; the lower belt lies over the pelvis below the abdomen. Incorrect positioning reduces protection and can worsen injuries. Do not use clips to introduce slack, and follow manufacturer instructions; a belt cannot guarantee preventing every injury.
