A seat belt, also called a safety belt, is a vehicle safety device designed to secure a driver or passenger against harmful movement that can result from a collision or a sudden stop. It reduces the likelihood of death or serious injury in a traffic collision by lessening the force of secondary impacts with hazards inside the vehicle, by keeping occupants positioned so an airbag can work at maximum effectiveness, and by preventing occupants from being thrown from the vehicle in a crash or rollover.
