Steps to Action Seatbelt Safety Awareness/Enforcement As a coalition, West Shore Safe Communities hopes to move from one-shot individual efforts to a formal, inclusive plan to encourage all residents of Mason, Oceana and Muskegon counties to wear their seatbelts every time they ride or drive in a motor vehicle. The Accessing Community Traffic Safety (ACTS) survey clearly identifies safety belt nonuse as a deficit in all three counties. Statistics gathered by the Office of Highway Safety Planning indicate approximately one in five passengers in Mason, Oceana and Muskegon counties do not wear their seatbelts. At the current time, we have several assets in place in our communities to combat safety belt nonuse. We have frequent safety belt use enforcement campaigns conducted by law enforcement agencies (i.e., Click It or Ticket). Several law enforcement agencies report conducting regular safety belt surveys in their communities. A “Seatbelt Challenge” is presented in Mason and Oceana counties to encourage high school students to wear their safety belts. Trooper KC provides educational programs to elementary students. Project Love provides safe car seats to children ages 0-4 in Mason and Oceana. West Shore Safe Communities would like to improve the percentage of drivers and passengers wearing their safety belts. In order to achieve this goal, a comprehensive education and enforcement effort needs to be organized and assets such as sentencing uniformity, intensified enforcement, enforcement coordination, shared ER injury data, and parental training should be developed.

Vehicles and equipment Seat belt safety Safety belts are the most effective means of saving lives and reducing serious injuries in traffic crashes. They're also the law. In Wisconsin, drivers and occupants of vehicles are subject to a fine for not wearing their seat belts. Seat belts save an estimated 9,500 lives in America each year (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1998). Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death to children in America. And each year in the U.S., approximately 1,800 children ages 14 and under are killed as occupants in motor vehicles and more than 280,000 are injured. Safety belts, air bags and proper child safety seats , when used consistently and correctly, can significantly reduce the rate of injury in a crash. Current usage for seat belts in Wisconsin is around 66%. From 1992 to 2001, Wisconsin's fatality total has increased by approximately 19 percent.

Welcome Safety Fans! You've reached the seat belt room of the Research Lab. Did you know that seat belts are the MOST effective means of reducing fatalities and serious injuries in a traffic crash? It's true. In fact, seat belts save over 10,000 lives in America every year. The sad fact is that yearly thousands of people still die in traffic crashes. When a vehicle is involved in a crash, passengers are still traveling at the vehicles original speed at the moment of impact. When the vehicle finally comes to a complete stop, unbelted passengers slam into the steering wheel, windshield or other part of the vehicle's interior. (Ouch!) Seat belts are your best protection in a crash. They are designed so that the forces in a crash are absorbed by the strongest area of your body the bones of your hips, shoulders and chest. They keep you in place so that your head, face and chest are less likely to strike the windshield, dashboard, other vehicle interiors or other passengers. They also keep you from being thrown out of a vehicle. The Top 4 Reasons Why You Should Wear Your Seat Belt Seat belts can save your life in a crash.

News Item February 9, 2000 National Football League star Derrick Thomas died suddenly Tuesday morning, two weeks after an automobile accident left him paralyzed from the chest down. Thomas suffered a bruised spinal cord, broken vertebrae and fractures in his lower neck on Jan. 23 when his sport utility vehicle flipped on an icy Missouri highway. Thomas was ejected from the vehicle. He was not wearing a seat belt. One passenger, Michael Tellis, died. The only surviving passenger wore a seat belt. John Hagebusch was treated for minor injuries and released. If an external "LifeLight" was placed on every vehicle and illuminated when seat belts were not buckled, recognition within and peer pressure from outside the car would strongly encourage and even insist that seat belts be fastened.

76. SEAT BELT SAFETY SEAT BELT safety. BY JEFF ZOLLER. Aurora Vol. Fire Department. The intent of seat belt legislation in the 1980’s was to raise awareness and drive behavior http://www.aurora.in.us/fire/seatbelt.htm

SEAT BELT SAFETY BY JEFF ZOLLER Aurora Vol. Fire Department Anti-lock brakes Supplemental Restraint systems (SRS) (i.e. Airbags) Structural "roll cage" and door reinforcement Third Brake Light Daytime Running lights Built-in Child Safety seats With all of these new features, the most important safety item is still the safety belt. When used in conjunction with these other feature, the package is very successful. Also, the safest place in a collision is in the vehicle secured to the seat. The effectiveness of the safety features listed above is based on the assumption that the passengers are strapped in (since it is the law) and the driver remains behind the wheel, in control of the vehicles brakes, throttle and steering. Safety belts perform this function. From my experiences, I have seen many examples where seat belts save lives and reduce serious injury, plain and simple. In many minor accidents, say at speeds below 40 mph, the affect of not wearing safety belts is not thought to be as bad as high speed wreck, but this is not the case. The front seat passengers are tossed front to back, bouncing between the steering wheel ,door panels, dashboard and windshield. Almost every case where safety belts are not used, there is a large round indentation in the windshield where the drivers face or forehead impact the glass. I have also been at accidents where drivers have left their teeth impacted into the steering wheel. It sounds sick, but it further supports the argument for using belts. Back seat passengers are thrust forward into the front seat, impacting the drivers head or thrown out doors or windows. Thus reinforcing the need for rear passenger safety belts being utilized.

Home About the Ministry Traveller's Information Road Safety ... FAQ Location: Ministry Home Road Safety Road Safety Topics Fact... Wearing your seat belt properly will dramatically increase your chance of surviving a motor vehicle collision Stay Safe and Secure for everyone's sake Proper Use of Seat Belts A properly worn seat belt greatly increases your chances of surviving a motor vehicle collision. A typical seat belt assembly consists of a lap and shoulder belt. The shoulder belt should be worn as tightly as possible over the shoulder and across the chest. The lap belt should be firm against the body and low across the hips. Air bags do not take the place of a seat belt. When air bags activate during a motor vehicle collision, they reduce the forward movement of the upper torso and minimize impact. They do not prevent drivers and passengers from being thrown from the car. When a seat belt is worn correctly, it will apply most of the collision or stopping forces across the chest and pelvis, which are better able to withstand collision forces. A seat belt should not be worn twisted, as the full width of the belt is required to spread motor vehicle collision forces across the body. Wearing a seat belt loosely or placing the shoulder belt under the arm or behind your back instead of across the chest, could, in the case of a collision or sudden stop, result in an injury-producing impact with the vehicle interior, or ejection from the vehicle. Wearing a lap belt across the stomach, instead of low across the hips, allows collision forces to be applied to the soft tissue of the body, increasing the chance of injury.
