Your car has front and side air bags. An adult passenger says he does not need a belt, because the air bags will protect him. What is correct?
Correct answer: He is wrong; the belt holds his body in place so that the air bag can protect him.
Why
In a crash, an unbelted person can slide out of position and hit the air bag as it opens, or miss it completely. The belt also keeps the person in place if the vehicle is hit again or rolls. The manual says that every rider should wear a belt, even in a car with air bags.
