Seatbelts.....again

[Fentonite]

Yesterday, a car with a man, woman, and their daughter rolled over on the highway. The man was not wearing his seatbelt, and was partially ejected, then dragged under the car until it stopped. His wife and daughter, who were buckled-up, were ok.

My wife was one of the paramedics who responded. She got to explain to the wife and daughter that their husband/daddy was dead, and then help them though the viewing of their mangled love one on the highway.

That family will never be the same. Christmas will forever have a new meaning to them. They'll never forget that gruesome scene (I'm omitting details out of respect). I maintain that it is not the government's place to be our nanny. Don't wear your seatbelt just because the government says so. Wear it for your wives and daughters.

Don't wear your seatbelt just because the government says so. Wear it for your wives and daughters.

Amen !!

ALWAYS wear your seatbelt when driving at highway speeds.

I am a living miracle in terms of not wearing seatbelts. PLEASE, please, for your own life, buckle up!!

Kati Coric on CBS News, said that millions of Ford seatbelts are defective. The SHA blamed a guy for not wearing a seat belt, when his Ford Bronco rolled over and he was ejected and killed. The morgue photo's show a slash cut along his collarbone which proved he was faithfully wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash.
Turns out, if you have a rollover and the seatbelt goes forward, it does not retract, therefore you just get forced out of restraint and go right out the door or thru the roof during rollover.
I forget the name of the seatbelt company. The newscast was a couple of months ago.

I rolled a truck down I-80 at rush hour in Omaha, and was pitched out about 1 1/2 rolls into the 3 1/2 that the truck completed. I was incredibly lucky not to have been seriously injured or killed.

ALWAYS wear your seatbelt when in a moving vehicle.

Fixed it for you
Sure as shit you are toodling around at 20mph, some jack-hole on his 9th DUI hits you head on at 60mph, you WILL be ejected through the windshield in an 80mph collision.

Don't be a victim of natural selection.

I happen to be a victim of a faulty Ford Bronco seat belt. Fortunately we were only going 55 when the head on occured, so my head only went partially through the windshield.

I know
let's pass a law demanding that all subjects wear their seat belt.


oh
wait

never mind.
