# Submarine Effect and Seat Belt
The submarine effect occurs when the seat belt is not correctly positioned, allowing the body to slide downward during a strong impact. This causes the abdomen and ribs to receive the impact directly, causing serious internal injuries. Proper use of the belt, ensuring it passes over the hip and chest, prevents this dangerous effect.
