In a car accident your body has a certain amount of momentum and it wants to keep moving forward.

The seat-belts slow the body down enough so they don't hit the wind-shield or dashboard etc.

In a car crash inertia could cause you the crash into the windshield?

In a car crash, inertia keeps your body moving at the same speed as the vehicle until an external force acts on it. When the car suddenly stops due to the impact, your body continues to move forward, which can result in hitting the windshield. This is why seat belts are crucial, as they provide the necessary restraint to counteract inertia and help prevent serious injuries during a collision.


Seatbelts give the driver and passengers a riding down effect that slows them gradually?

Seatbelts are designed to restrain passengers in the event of a sudden stop or collision. They work by spreading the force of impact across the stronger parts of the body, such as the chest and pelvis, reducing the risk of injury. Seatbelts also help to prevent occupants from being ejected from the vehicle in a crash.
