Well said. People think they’re invisible and can survive anything. I always wear a seat belt even if I’m going down the street to get gas, and I demand my 9 year old daughter to do the same.

Even the rich and famous are not exempt from physics:

In that same vein....

Caution -- this is gruesome!

My car didn’t move until the boys were all buckled up. Every week one got to be ‘Seatbelt Monitor.’ I also told them the car WOULDN’T start unless all the seatbelts were latched.

But then, Dad used to put me in the front seat (no seatbelts in the car at all), Mom in the back seat with the dog and the BABY in the cubby in the rear of our VW Bug!!

And we all survived without a scratch. Never even a fender-bender in all of those years of driving from Milwaukee to ‘Up Nort’ every weekend of our lives.

I’m not sure if I’ve been brainwashed by the Nanny Staters or if we were the luckiest SOBs to ever live, LOL!
