Safety belt

Past, many motorists wear seat belts only in order to prevent confiscation of money, called a penalty. Few believed in the protective capabilities of the device: Belt-de embarrass them, stain, crumples clothes ... And nothing is more terrible than the fate of motorists who at the time of accident was not wearing his safety belt. What is the essence of the invention, who saved no one human life? Restricting movement inside the vehicle, seat belt, turns, in fact, a driver in a single unit with the chair. That is, with the salon car, preventing him from moving forward. Thus, the driver can avoid hitting the steering wheel, instrument panel, ejection through the windshield, that in any case fraught with consequences. Researchers have identified three main reasons for reluctance to use a seat belt: 1) people do not accept the thought of his hit in an accident, and 2) is difficult leaving the car at the time of the fire or in accidents, and 3) freedom of movement to the belt, spoil the clothes, etc. We draw readers' attention to second paragraph: "... in the time of the fire." Then Grandma twain said ... Yes, it really locks can jam, but more often, oddly enough, everything goes vice versa. After all, it is clear that the car lights, usually as a result of a serious accident. The likelihood that the driver is wounded or unconscious and is unable to leave the car in time, much more if it is not wearing his safety belt. Conversely, if the driver uses a seat belt, he has a much better chance to avoid "burning alive". A striking example - race car drivers. None of them will not be racing without a seatbelt, even though they are soberly aware of the danger of fire, because their car - a barrel of gasoline on wheels. That is why the use of seat belts reduces the number of drivers killed in a fire in the car. Roughly similar reflection convinces be worn and in contact with a car in the pond. Conclusion: properly fitted and fastened seat belt - is the key to a good outcome in an accident. But it would not correct silent about the shortcomings of the most common bias-belt clip: 1) the diagonal belt should fit snugly to the chest, or the moment of impact is dramatic tension of the belt and with a large gap may tear, and 2) the collision of a body is moving forward by inertia, belt restricts movement of the lower body, and the top, held by the diagonal belt in the right (left) shoulder, experiencing turning the load on the chest and spine, and 3) during the phase of elastic rebound man throws back, go with the kink neck, back, which can damage the cervical vertebrae (partly the fault offsets the headrest). Very sorry that I have promoted the immutable truth, but to prevent the strike force of hands on the wheel can only be in a collision at a speed of about 6 km / h (which is installed in our country, and for the "hill"). In the event of a collision with a fixed barrier at 80 km / h in just 0.092 seconds later, unfastened the driver and his passenger crashed into the windshield of his car with the force of gravity 9 tons and receive lethal damage to the skull. Therefore, it remains only say: "Use, friends, use a must!"
