Correct answer
- Csobre los huesos de las caderas, siempre por debajo del abdomen.over the hip bones, always below the abdomen.
Explanation
The lap belt must be worn low, over the hip bones and always below the abdomen. If it is over the stomach, in a crash it presses on soft organs and can cause internal injuries; the pelvis, on the other hand, can withstand the restraining force well.
