True story that happened to me. I was a passenger in my buddies truck coming back from leave back in about ‘93 and we rolled it five times (that according to witnesses...I kind of lost count after the first couple rolls) on the interstate trying to avoid a skunk. We both were wearing seat-belts and walked away with just minor cuts and bruises. The thing that haunts me to this day is that I had only put my seat-belt back on about 5 miles before it happened. Before that I had been sleeping so I took it off to get more comfortable. After feeling they way the g-forces were trying to rip me from that truck and having only the seat-belt keeping me in is something I will never forget. Needless to say I am religious about wearing it now.

Glad you’re OK, it truly is something that you can never forget. My father died in a horrible car accident and I doubt that a seat belt could have saved him, but he was so macho and it was 1976, he wouldn’t be caught dead wearing one anyway. *bad pun intended* But I always have to wonder...
