Simply wearing a lap-and-shoulder belt combination can cut your chance of being killed by ____________.

Answer 1

Wearing a lap and shoulder belt combination can cut your chance of being killed by 50%.

When you are sitting on the front seat of a car, you are more likely to hit on the front screen in case of accident. And a hit with the wind screen mostly results in severe injuries of the passenger. so when a lap and shoulder belt is fastened, the likelihood of being severely injured is reduced to 50%. It is because of the fact that the passenger gets stuck with the belt and doesn't hit the wind screen.

So it is very much needed to fasten the seat belt for your security.
