What you can do to improve seat belt usage...
In addition to using your seat belt, there are some things you can do to promote the widespread use of seat belts.

*Encourage teens. In 2021, nine out of 10 teen passengers who died in a motor vehicle accident were unbuckled. While peer pressure, forgetfulness and a youthful sense of invulnerability discourage teen seat belt use, consistent modeling by parents is one of the best measures to promote seat belt use by teen drivers and passengers.
*Require anyone riding with you to wear their seat belt. Your car, your rules. Ensure everyone’s safety by always requiring all your passengers to buckle up when you are behind the wheel. If you’re not the driver, you can still encourage all passengers and the driver to wear their seat belt, too.
*Find the right fit. Not all seat belts will fit everyone comfortably. You’re less likely to use your seat belt when it isn’t comfortable, so take a proactive approach. Be sure to check the fit of the seat belts before purchasing a new car, and purchase a seat belt adjuster or an extender if you need a more custom fit.
*Adjust for pregnancy. When you are pregnant, it’s that much more critical for you to wear a seat belt so you can protect not just yourself but your baby, too. Women should still wear a seat belt when they are pregnant, but you can talk to your doctor regarding the most comfortable fit for you.

How a Baylor Bear became the ‘Fastest Man on Earth’ — and helped make seatbelts common

Zero to 60? That’s kids’ stuff. Try 0 to 632 mph in five seconds — then decelerating back to zero in another 1.4 seconds. Such a ride puts the body through 40+ G’s of force. “My eyeballs pushed against the upper lids, pulling at their attachments with a searing pain like a dental extraction without anesthetic,” recalled the test pilot.

That was the last of 29 rocket sleds Dr. John Paul Stapp (BA ’31, MA ’32) would ride in the mid 1950s, part of U.S. Air Force safety testing that would lead to improved pilot helmets, better seatbelts and shoulder harnesses, improved escape mechanisms, and stronger cockpit frames.

But before all that, Stapp was a Baylor Bear. The eldest son of Baptist missionaries to Brazil, Stapp earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Baylor. He went on to earn a PhD in biophysics from UT and an MD from Minnesota before beginning his active military career in 1944 as a medical officer.

In 1955, his work on acceleration and deceleration landed him on the cover of TIME magazine, billed as “The Fastest Man on Earth” for his rocket-sled work that set new land-speed records. The goal? Studying the effects of rapid deceleration upon the human body in order to improve the safety of pilots — using himself as a human guinea pig.

After his test piloting days were through, Stapp continued his work on vehicle safety — leading a car-crash study program for the Air Force, and launching the Stapp Car Crash Conference (which continues today) to promote discussion about vehicle design and passenger safety. Two years after Stapp launched his conference, Volvo became the first auto maker to install seatbelts in cars; a decade later, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law a measure requiring seatbelts on all new cars sold in the United States.

Stapp retired from the Air Force in 1970 with the rank of colonel. He was celebrated with the USAF Distinguished Services Medal, the National Medal of Technology, an honorary doctorate from Baylor, and induction into the National Aviation Hall of Fame, among a long list of honors, before his passing in 1999.

Sic ’em, Col. Stapp!
