*Why seat belts are important in cars, a lesson from the sad demise of Cyrus Mistry*
Cyrus Mistry was sitting on the rear seat, the two people that survived were sitting in front with seat belts on.
There were four people in the vehicle, of which two, including Mistry, died on the spot. The other deceased person has been identified as Jahangir Binshah Pandole.
Those injured — identified as Anahita Pandole, a top doctor at Breach Candy Hospital, (who was driving the car) and Darius Pandole, the managing director and CEO of JM Financial Private Equity, have been shifted to a hospital. – Indian Express
Airbags are of no use if seat belt is not strapped. That is the first line of defence. Air bag is the second line of defence only if the first is complied.
If you do not lock sitting chair seat belt properly air bag will not open.
All the cars have rear seat belts as per government regulation, but very few people use them, it is an illusion that the rear is very safe.
During the time of crash the person behind is sometimes thrown at a force of 40G (40 times the gravity, which means the person weighing 80kgs will be like 3200kgs).
If the front passenger is wearing seat belt and rear passenger is not, during the time of crash the front passenger is likely to be severely injured or killed due to the rear passenger falling with a weight of an elephant.
Totally surprised to hear this. When you are paying for seat belts – why not use them and be safe??
It is there for very important to wear seat belts while on road.
Everybody should follow the traffic rules
Pl forward to your friends and loved ones, it can save their life.
