The government has been spreading awareness through various measures on the necessity to wear seatbelts while travelling in the vehicle. However, most of the people do not pay any attention to this vital aspect.
Seatbelt prevents loss of life in an accident especially getting thrown ut of the vehicle. A survey explains tat seatbelt offers some other health benefits as well.
A research analysis was recently conducted by the Nephrology Council in the USA. This has brought out the importance of wearing the seatbelt to the public. Seatbelts and airbags protect the head and chest and also te kidneys. The research has proven records for this fact.
287174 road accidents in the USA were closely scrutinized and analysed. Out of this, the kidneys of 2580 passengers who wore seatbelts were protected. Even the need to remove the kidneys had reduced by 50 percent.
Out of those who did not wear seatbelts, 44.3 percent had affected kidneys. The necessity to remove the kidneys increased by 47.5 epercent.
Rather than creating awareness through mere propaganda, informing the people wit factual information of the losses and damages by failing to wear seatbelts creates a better impression on the importance of wearing seatbelts.
So, it is confirmed that wearing the seatbelt gives extra protection and avoiding damages without any side-effects. Hence, let us use the seatbelts while travelling.
