I've been watching TONS, and i mean TONS of dash cam video crashes. And it seems that the more people that fly out of the window during an impact are safer than stuck inside and crushed. So seat belts sometimes save lives and sometimes dont.
However, I do buckle up for long drives or high way driving. But regular city short stops driving, I dont, especially if i need to move around a lot to see from all angles.... this video proves the seatbelt- Luckiest Truck Driver in Russia - YouTube
just have a pillow or blanket with you and fly out of the windsheild and you will be fine. |
Without a doubt, one of the most uneducated statements I have read. As a person that deals with the aftermath of highway speed traffic accidents, an ejection has the HIGHEST mortality rate. These people are almost always unbelted and have significant impact injuries even before they are ejected. Why would you not choose to use something that has been proven over and over to have positive benefits and it costs you nothing to use? I hope the above post was a weak attempt at humor, because if you are serious please do not spread your ridiculous logic on these forums.
