A recent study found out that the safest place to sit inside a car is at the middle of the backseat. Passengers in the middle back seat were 86 percent more likely to survive than those in the front seats, and 25 percent more likely to survive than those in the other rear seats. However, the study also found out that most of the passengers sitting at this area is likely to neglect wearing seat belts, making them more prone to fatal injuries also than those wearing seat belts. Further, not wearing a seat belt in the back can have unfortunate consequences for those up front. One study found that even when passengers in the front wore seat belts, their chance of dying were five times as great if those in the back were not belted, a result of back-seat passengers’ being thrown forward on impact.
So for a safer ride, buckle up and be thankful if you are sitting at the middle even though it’s the most uncomfortable area because you are on the safest zone.
