- Seat belts, also known as safety belts, are a safety feature that secures the passenger in the vehicle seat in case of an accident. Seat belts are part of the occupant restraint system that helps to avoid harmful movement of the passengers, which could lead to injuries and also protects the occupants from being ejected from the vehicle.

- Seat belt tensioner work in conjuction with the airbag help to optimize the performance of the airbag systems. Maintaining proper occupant position reduces the amount of work the airbags must perform, and thus increases the level of protection provided by the SRS system. Keeping the occupant in the proper position minimizes injury due to the rapid inflation of the airbags.

It is safe for a driver to rely on the airbag deployment alone to protect him against serious injury and therefore does not have to wear his seat belt?

Absolutely not! Airbags are only a supplemental restraint system and are intended to be used in conjunction with a seat belt. Relying on an airbag alone may cause massive injury or have fatal results. The most important factor in not having an accident is yourself, the driver. If you are a reckless speed merchant and hit another car coming towards you, your seat belt and airbag may not be sufficient to prevent your death.
