ya you gotta be a plain idiot not to wear a seatbelt in a car
true story, i was driving my friend and his mom to pick a tv up, my friend sat in the front with his seatbelt on and his mom in the back of my kingcab without a seatbelt on, i had to do a moderate emergency brake, about 3/4 down on the pedal quickly, i dont know how but she just flew right to the front onto my gate shifter, im sure if i was going a bit faster and fully slammed my breaks or hit something at speed shed go flying right into my windshield, headfirst, that wouldnt be pretty, mind you she was in the back, anybody in the front would definatley have had there head into the windshield, it doesnt take much force to get you flying out of your seat, when not wearing a seatbelt, please people wear seatbelts, it WILL significantly reduce injury and possible death, even in small stupid situations, my friends mom was lucky
my moms friend also drove around without a seatbelt, in a miata, pregnant, and hit something, she went to the hospital, wasnt pretty, she wasnt going fast either, luckly she survived, if she had worn her belt, the only place shed have to visit would be the body shop
i see some of you think that in some accidents, like being t-boned or w/e, that a belt will not do much good, youd be surprized at the greater chances of survival, wearing a belt vs not, even in a pretty deadly situation, its like driving a motorcycle without a helmet, sure if a car sideswipes you on the freeway helmet or not, your chances of survival are slim, but much greater with the helmet on, be smart guys and girls
