Many people can never stop thanking the seat belts on their VW Jetta for saving their lives countless times. Seat belts are wonders for us by providing protection that we cannot provide for ourselves. They are the most vital pieces of safety equipment inside our car.

They lock in place in an instant during collision to keep the occupants from hitting the parts of the vehicle near them. In the case of VW Jetta, the seat belts are designed to have automatic crash tensioners or webbing grabbers that makes the belt tightened within the first milliseconds of a collision or crash.

They also clamp the belt outside the reel giving increase tension on the belt system in times of collision by reducing the slack belt, making the belted person tightly in place. Seat belts were first used way back in the 1800s. They were invented by George Cayley and were introduced first in aircrafts by Adolphe Pegoud. Proven to be a good safety provider in aircraft industry, the seat belts commenced their services to automobiles. Even though they were introduced in the United States first, it was Australia that first used seat belts as compulsory equipment in all vehicles.
