Why are car seat-belts designed to stretch some what in a collision ?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Car seat-belts are designed to be stretchable, as stretching the seat-belt allows the large momentum of a passenger to reduce gently and the passenger is prevented from being thrown forward violently. Therefore, major injuries can be prevented if the car suffers a collision.
