Because people are more relaxed when riding in a car, especially when they are in the car of their relatives or familiar friends, many people will use some relaxed postures like sitting on the sofa at home to ride the car. However, some sitting postures are fine at home, but there are certain risks in the car. When an emergency occurs, such as these five sitting postures, it is easy to cause more harm to yourself.
feet on center console
Because there is an airbag on the center console of the co-pilot, put your foot on it just at the position where the airbag is deployed. In an emergency, when a crash occurs that causes the airbag to deploy, it’s easy to push your legs hard against your upper body. Injury to the spine or a bruise to the face, chest, etc., with one’s own knee, but the degree of injury may not have been that high.
Extend your hands and feet out of the window
Not only does this position obscure the driver sight, there is a safety hazard. It is also very likely that when the traffic flow is relatively dense, the passing vehicles will scratch or break their hands and feet because they are too close.
Seat backs flat
Some people want to sleep when they get in the car, It’s not impossible, but you can’t sleep with the seat back flat. Because when the seat back is flat, the airbags and seat belts are not very protective in the event of an emergency. And the seat belt will even go straight to the neck, which is even worse. And the knee area will definitely hit the center console first.
Reclining back row
Due to not sitting properly When braking or colliding, it is very easy to be sprained and bruised, or to be stretched by the safety belt to a vulnerable body part, etc.
Sit cross-legged
Let’s not say that if there is athlete’s foot, it will pollute the air in the car The problem. Once the vehicle encounters an emergency, even if it responds in time, this sitting position cannot take effective measures to protect itself in a timely manner. At that time, it will receive a larger impact and cause more serious damage.
Conclusion: Although we can relax while riding in the car, after all, it is not at home in the car, and there may be dangers on the road at any time. Therefore, when you sit in a car, you should sit upright, not only can you respond and take measures in time, but also reduce the degree of injury.
