The paramedics at work say the same thing.
Well then both your parmedics and the Hwy patrolman are full of it or just haven’t had a lot of experience then. There are between 40 and 50 thousand car deaths a year. Are you going to tell me that every one of those was someone without a seat belt on? I have personally seen car accidents with dead people in their seat belts. To say something like “never have taken a dead person from a seat belt” is just idiotic.
