Question: What are some ways to protect yourself in an accident when driving a race car without wearing a seat belt?
Answer:
In racing driving, not wearing a seat belt is extremely dangerous behavior. It is strongly recommended that you **always use a professional racing seat belt correctly** (usually a five-point or six-point seat belt). High-speed collisions in motorsport will produce a huge impact force, and seat belts are the core equipment to protect the life and safety of drivers. If you deliberately do not use a seat belt, no other method can effectively avoid serious injury or fatal risk.
The following content is only used as a popular science to supplement safety knowledge, but it in no way means that it can replace seat belts.:

### 1. **Core equipment for professional racing safety design (must be used)**
-**Racing seat and seat belt system**:
The wrapping of professional racing seats and seat belts work together to ensure that the body will not move significantly in a collision, avoiding visceral damage, broken cervical vertebrae, or hitting hard objects in the car.
-**HANS equipment (head and neck support system)**:
Used in conjunction with seat belts to prevent excessive forward throwing of the head in a collision from causing fractures of the cervical spine (but it is not effective when used alone).
-**Roll cage and body structure**:
The roll cage and carbon fiber monocoque structure of the racing car can resist extrusion deformation, but the premise is that the driver must be fixed to the seat by the seat belt, otherwise it will still be thrown out or hit the body.

### 2. **The extreme risk of not wearing a seat belt (a physical law that cannot be ignored)**
-**Inertial effect**:
Even if a collision occurs at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, the human body will rush forward at the same speed (equivalent to falling from a height of 10 floors). Without the restraint of a seat belt, the head and chest cavity will directly hit the steering wheel or dashboard.
-** Risk of secondary collision**:
An immovable body may rebound multiple times in the car, or be thrown directly out of the car, resulting in fatal consequences such as rolling over and hitting obstacles.
-**Safety equipment failure**:
Equipment such as helmets and fire-resistant clothing can only alleviate some of the injuries, but cannot prevent the internal organs from rupturing due to severe deceleration (seat belts are required to disperse the impact force).

### 3. **The only safety recommendation**
-**Strictly abide by safety regulations**:
All racing safety standards of the International Automobile Federation (FIA) and other organizations are premised on the correct use of seat belts. Professional drivers will never untie their seat belts even if they endure sultry heat or discomfort.
-**Check equipment reliability**:
Replace old seat belts regularly to ensure that the locks and webbing are wear-free, and receive professional training to learn the correct tying method.
-**Simulation training awareness**:
Understand the physical response in the event of a collision through the track safety course, and psychologically strengthen the cognition of “safety belt = life belt”.

### Important reminder:
If you have to untie your seat belt for a short time due to special scenes (such as performances, film and television shooting), you must do so under the supervision of a professional team and make the following preparations in advance:
-The speed is strictly controlled in a very low range (such as below 20 km/h).
-Wear a full set of protective equipment (helmet, fireproof clothing, neck guards, etc.).
-The vehicle is equipped with a roll cage and a soft interior.
-The scene is equipped with a first aid team and fire fighting equipment.
But even so, there are still uncontrollable risks. **There is no shortcut to life safety, please always fasten your seat belt. **
