If the lap belt is placed over the abdomen…

Correct answer

the seat belt works effectively.

It is very important to position a vehicle's seat belt correctly to prevent possible injuries to its occupants. If the diagonal belt is positioned over the neck or chest, it may cause serious injuries when it acts during a collision. The lap belt, on the other hand, must be placed over the hip bones, below the occupant's abdomen, because if it is placed over the abdomen there is a risk of serious internal injuries during a possible accident.
