Car Accident Safety
If you do find yourself suddenly involved in a car crash, the following steps could help you avoid serious injury:
- Always wear your safety belt. It will help you stay secure in a collision.
- Avoid having loose items in the vehicle, as these can become projectiles during a car accident.
- If you experience a collision or know you are about to, try and stay as relaxed as possible.
- Keep breathing.
- Always have children of the appropriate weight and height in a child safety seat.
- Do not lock your legs or arms against the dashboard or steering wheel.
- Always sit the proper distance away from the dashboard and steering wheel. This will help your airbags work properly.
These steps can help you avoid serious injury or death should you be suddenly involved in a vehicular collision.
