Correct answer

  • CLa parte superior del cinturón (cinta torácica) debe pasar por la clavícula, entre el cuello y el hombro.The upper part of the belt (the chest strap) must pass over the collarbone, between the neck and the shoulder.
Explanation

The chest strap must pass over the collarbone, between the neck and the shoulder, and across the middle of the chest, and the lap strap must go over the hips. Bulky clothing leaves slack, and a steeply reclined backrest makes it easier for the body to slide under the belt in a crash.
