seatbelt
Vehicle safety strap
A seatbelt is a strap that holds a person in place in a vehicle or aircraft seat, designed to prevent injury during sudden stops or crashes.
Most seatbelts fasten across the lap and chest.
Buckle your seatbelt.
Figuratively, to fasten your seatbelt is to brace for something turbulent or exciting ahead.
