How seatbelts work |
School buses & seatbelts
Seatbelts hold you in place
On impact or during emergency braking, the
seatbelt retractors lock up so the belt system holds you in place.
If you have an air bag equipped vehicle, your belt system, used
correctly, can keep you out of the deployment
zone, and that's important for your safety.
The seatbelt pretensioner system
A pretensioner system provides added protection
in a crash by tightening the seatbelt during an impact. At present,
these safety systems are only available in some 1999 or newer high-end
passenger vehicles.
