Why Seat Belts Matter in Rollover Crashes
Rollover crashes can create multiple forces that move occupants around inside a vehicle. A seat belt helps keep a person secured in the seating position and can reduce the chance of being thrown from the vehicle.
Pickup trucks and other vehicles can roll after striking another vehicle, trailer, roadside object, or uneven surface. The outcome can depend on factors such as the point of impact, vehicle movement, and roadway conditions.
Wearing a properly positioned seat belt is a basic safety measure for drivers and passengers. The restraint should sit across the lap and chest, while children should use an age- and size-appropriate car seat or booster when required.
