prayers sent. hate hearing these things. god be with them and their families.
as a man that was in a roll over, i can say without doubt that had i been wearing a seatbelt i'd be dead today. seatbelts are great for most wrecks. but the roll over i was in, no way to survive with it on. as it was i suffered a broken leg while ending up laying on the windshield

Great so your gonna be that guy when the seatbelt discussion comes up there's always that guy with the one anecdotal seatbelt would have killed me story. Well glad you survived your situation my man. The problem is your one in an extremely small amount of people who survived for NOT wearing his seatbelt versus the alternative. Every study ever done in the history of cars backs up the information. I've seen the data and can't rememberrte exact numbers but trust me whenI say the chances of survival is much much greater with one on. By all means though I'm happy you were one of the lucky ones who beat those extremely slim odds. Question though: do you still chose not to wear one today and does it honesty and truthfully make you feel safer that you don't wear one and do you tell everybody you know they shouldn't wear one because of your one anecdotal story?
