AB  - Two-  and  three-point  seat  belt  restraints  have  reduced  mortality  and  the  severity  of  trauma  due  to  motor  vehicle  crashes;  however,  they  occasionally  produce  injury.  Lap/shoulder  belts  are  known  to  produce  abdominal  (most  common),  thoracic,  and  spinal  injuries.  The  “seat  belt  sign,”  abrasions  or  ecchymoses  to  the  neck,  chest,  and  abdomen  in  the  pattern  of  the  belt,  occurs  in  less  than  20%  of  patients  but  is  associated  with  a  fourfold  risk  of  intrathoracic  and  an  eightfold  risk  of  intra-abdominal  injury.
