Seatbelt saves life's, but in naija people only wear seatbelt so that they won't be caught by Road Safety officials

Especially those danfo drivers,immediately they pass through the officials, they put the seat belt away.

Oga the news before you says ocholi's driver dies in the hospital. only God can save and not seat belt

With the way the Minister of State for Labour and Productivity, Hon James Ocholi (SAN) died in a fatal motor accident along Abuja – Kaduna road while travelling with his son and wife, I wondered why his Orderly and Driver were both spared. The answer I got was SEAT BELT

How Do Seat Belts Work?

When the brakes are applied sharply or when the car is impacting something, the vehicle may be stopped, but due to inertia, the passengers motion will keep moving forward. Seat　belts can help restrain that motion. Inside, the retractor has a silver-colored bead that is slightly larger than a ball bearing. The movement of the ball due to the vehicle deceleration that is occurring (either brake application or vehicle impact), results in an actuator moving up to lock the spool rotation, locking of the seat belts.

What Is a Pretensioner?

To help increase passenger protection, the Pretensioner reduces the slack between the seat belt and the passenger’s body during a collision. When a collision occurs, the pretensioner is activated and the power generated by the micro gas generator instantly recoils some webbing back into its housing. This enhances the effectiveness of the seatbelt by bringing the passenger as close to the seat as possible.
The sequence for this is as follows: The signal from the sensors is transmitted to the ECU (electronic control unit) which determines if a collision has occurred. If this is the case, a signal is sent to the pretensioners in the seat-belt system initiating the webbing retraction. The Pretensioner in the belt almost instantaneously winds webbing back into its housing, removing all slack.
Pretensioners may be installed in various places. In some vehicles, the Pretensioner is in the retractor. In other vehicles, the Pretensioner is part of the buckle assembly. Additionally, some vehicle may have both.

How Strong Are Seat Belts?

The belt portion of the seat belt system is commonly called “webbing.” Approximately 300 polyester fibers are woven finely into a single belt. With this number of fibers, the strength of the belt has been measured to hold a weight of about three tons.

Either you're seated in the front seat or the rear, always afford to use your seat belt. It saves lives!!!

Seat belts help alot during auto crash but they could cause blunt injuries too and the severity of such injuries is largely dependent on the aspect of the body affected...

It definitely saved my life, when the car somersaulted at 220Km/h...Since that day have learnt my lesson.

My candid advice....ALWAYS FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT

Dollyak:
I love the educational topics going on front page lately. Sadly it appears the minister's family might have survived if they had seat belt on.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing obviously, but majority of Nigerians don't seem to wear seat belts

Please telk people creating topics on tyres and seatbelts to also create topics on the need to fix the roads.

Also let us educate the police escorts on the need to reduce unnecessary recklessness all becos of "security".

Can't believe an educative topic made it to FP! Not wearing a seat belt is risking your life....too many not wearing have flown through the windshield to their death. Headrests too are for safety and not for comfort or relaxation...... safety because the main purpose is to prevent whiplash....when the car is hit from behind... the headrest prevents the head from snapping backwards which usually result in a fractured/ broken neck and paralysis/death. Now back to more important topics..."See what a celebrity ate for lunch today"

Nigerians see seatbelt as punishment.
One day I was in taxi, and I happened to be at the front seat. I forgot to use the seatbelt and the driver didn't bother to remind me until he saw the FRSC men at the far front. He said, 'put on your seatbelt, they are here'. I did as he asked me. After that particular junction I couldn't believe my ears when the driver said, 'you can remove it now, they always disturb us when you don't use it'.

I always encourage everyone to use it, the last time I had an accident I would have hit my head or chest on the dash board.

And for those who are lulled into a false sense of security by the presence of airbags, those are SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM, you'll be mostly out of luck since the airbags are expecting you to be firmly in your seat to work.
