Traffic accidents often occur on the roads. Wearing a seat belt gives a guarantee of protection as in the serious accidents, and in minor collisions.
Why you should always wear a seat belt? 5 Consider the facts on this topic.
№ 1. Belt saves in 70% of cases. Wearing a seat belt increases the chance of staying alive is almost 2.4 times. During a head-on collision a chance to die is reduced by 2.3 times, in the event of a side impact factor of 1.8, in the event of rollover and the coup - 5 times.
№ 2. Even at the lowest rate you can get serious injuries. Some drivers believe that fasten the belt does not make sense at a minimum rate. But this opinion is erroneous. An experiment was conducted, which showed that in a frontal collision at a fixed obstacle speed of 25 km / h the driver gets a hit of the same force as if he stood on a chair and suddenly fell to him flat. At a speed of 40 km / h - falling from nine seats, one set to another.
If you drive at a speed of only 10 km / h, when the accident adult weighs nearly a ton and a young child of about 200 kg. Keep your hands are not wearing your baby is impossible, even if the adult wore a seat belt.
When two cars traveling together at a speed of 30 km / h, and a head-on collision occurs, then both machines is equivalent to hitting the immovable obstruction at a speed of 60 km / h. This can be compared to a jump from the 6th floor to the asphalt.
№ 3. 80% of accidents occur in the city. Most accidents occur at speeds up to 65 km / h. Also, according to the statistics: one in four deaths in road accidents occur within 40 km from the house.
№ 4. Airbag flies at a speed of 300 km / h. Some drivers to get rid of the annoying squeak security system is inserted into the buckle cover. This system works on the following principle: if the belt is buckled, the airbag is triggered in an accident, if you do not buckle up, the airbag will be disabled. Use plugs for safety belts serious consequences. airbags inflate at a speed of 300 km / h if the driver is not wearing - it can lead to serious damage to the spine.
№ 5. Death in an accident comes just over a quarter of a second. If driver not wearingThen a collision at a speed of 80 km / h is not likely to survive. At the beginning of the impact machine weighs 30 times as much, the driver continues to move in the cabin at speeds of 80 km / h. After 0.05 second body weight increases by 80 times. Through 0.068 seconds occurs kick on the steering wheel and the dashboard, through the 0,092 - on the windshield. Through 0.113 seconds rear passengers crash into the front seats, breaking them, and the average passenger flies through the windshield. 0.240 seconds later after the accident rear passengers thrown back with such speed and force that they are deformed heads the ceiling and roof of the car. According to statistics, out of 100 people, only two survive, but with very serious injuries.
