This took place in Mexico. Most details surrounding this incident are unknown. However, the statues in the back of the truck are apparently synonymous with death, so, that's ironic!
What we do know for sure is that this makeshift tourniquet isn't going to be doing very much:
Using a belt as a tourniquet is VERY ineffective, and often hinders medical responders treatments simply due to getting in the way. If whatever object you're using doesn't exceed the mean arterial pressure of those you're trying to treat, it's more or less useless.
Without a tourniquet with a winding mechanism, you'll struggle to control most instances of catastrophic haemorrhage. If you know how, you're also able to create a makeshift winding tourniquet with a bit of cloth and a sturdy pen or stick. It may be worth while leaning how.
Don't waste your nice belts. Don't waste lives, either.
