Conroe accident lawyers provide 8 seat belt facts you need to know

Our Conroe accident lawyers remind you that Texas law requires car occupants to wear seat belts when the car is in motion. The law exists because extensive data shows that seat belts save lives and reduce injuries in vehicle crashes.

• 35,000 to 40,000 Americans die each year in vehicle crashes.

• The force of your car collision at 30 mph equals the force of a fall from a 3-story building.

• A back seat passenger of average weight who's not wearing a seat belt will be thrown forward with a force of 3,000 pounds.

• The use of standard 3-point seat belt restraint reduces the likelihood of fatal injury to a front seat occupant by 45% in a car crash. Use of the seat belts reduces the likelihood of moderate to critical injuries to the front seat passenger by 50%.

• Your chances of being ejected from a vehicle during a car crash if you're not wearing a seat belt are about 12 times higher than those of someone who is restrained by seat belts.

• Around 75% of all occupants ejected from a vehicle die.

• Adults that don't wear seat belts endanger the children that emulate them. When adults fail to buckle up, children will fail to buckle up more than 75% of the time.

• Those not wearing seat belts become deadly projectiles in a crash that can land on and crush their children or other vehicle occupants.
