Correct answer

  • Csobre los huesos de la cadera, siempre por debajo del abdomen.over the hip bones, always below the abdomen.
Explanation

The lap strap of the belt must go over the hip bones, below the abdomen, and the chest strap over the collarbone and the middle of the chest. If the lap strap goes over the belly, in a crash it can damage internal organs or let the body slide underneath (submarining).
