In a traffic accident, the submarine effect occurs when the body of the vehicle's occupant slides under the seat belt. This effect can occur if the seat belt is not properly adjusted or if the seat position is incorrect. When this happens, the seat belt cannot adequately restrain the occupant, increasing the risk of serious injuries upon impact with parts of the vehicle, such as the dashboard or steering wheel. It is crucial to properly adjust the seat belt and seat position to avoid this danger.
