If a car.crashes at 30
m.p.h. it is stopped, not at
once, but over a distance of
two or. three feet. The un-

* belted’ passenger continues
on at 30 m.p.h. and usually
hits the interior of tne car at
30 m.p.h. after the car has
come to rest.

The belted passenger is
slowed down with the car
over the distance of two or
three feet instead of being
stopped in a matter of in-
ches. This is why seat belts
reduce the severity of in-
"juries.

injuries, to front seat
