Correct answer
- BColocar la banda torácica sobre el cuello.Placing the chest strap over the neck.
Placing the chest strap over the neck is an incorrect and dangerous way to wear the seat belt. The seat belt is designed to hold the body by resting on its strongest areas, such as the collarbone, the chest and the hip bones, which can better withstand the forces of sharp braking or an impact. If the chest strap goes over the neck, it can cause serious injuries there, and it does not hold the body properly, which reduces the effectiveness of the restraint system. That is why the chest strap must always go over the collarbone and across the chest, never over the neck.
