    The document discusses anatomy of an accident and why seatbelts are important. It defines an accident as the transfer of forces during collisions, which can cause passengers to collide with dashboards and experience powerful g-forces without seatbelts. The document notes that experimental factors show seatbelts can reduce the distance a passenger travels during impact by 99% compared to not wearing a seatbelt. It concludes by emphasizing that seatbelts can reduce the forces of an accident by 98% and all states have seatbelt laws to promote passenger safety.
