Car safety: brakes, seat belts and airbags, sentence 1
If a car does stop suddenly in a crash, everything inside that is not held keeps going forward at the same speed, including people, which is why seat belts matter on every single trip.
Who acts: car, everything, people · What happens: stop, not hold, keep, go, be · To what, where: crash, same speed, single trip
