Couple of things I hope folks will mull over about the seatbelts.
If you have a traffic accident that causes your vehicle to roll, and you aren’t belted in, you stand a much greater chance of being ejected, and with that a much greater chance of dying. A fatality on the highway can and will shut it down for hours, thus delaying THOUSANDS of other motorists from their daily pursuits. It is also very expensive to investigate.
Further, if you are unbelted and you roll the car with others inside it, you in essence become a projectile of sorts, tumbling around in the interior of your car, smashing against anything and anyone.
