Can seatbelts prevent TBI?
 

Yes, seatbelts are one of the most effective ways to prevent TBIs in motor vehicle accidents. They limit forward motion during crashes, reducing head impact and severe brain injury.

​

Seatbelts also work together with airbags to absorb force and prevent contact with hard surfaces inside the vehicle. Proper seatbelt use dramatically lowers the risk of death and serious injury.

Consistent seatbelt use is critical for drivers and passengers of all ages. It remains one of the simplest and most effective brain injury prevention measures.
