Vehicle passenger restraints

Safety belts are straps designed to secure a person in place, preventing injury from sudden movement or impact.

The term covers both automotive seat belts and harnesses used in aircraft, amusement rides, or industrial settings: Please fasten your safety belts before takeoff.
