    You're right! All you need to have done is to have been a passenger in my 1998 Ford F150 during the afternoon of January 23rd when I was hit hard in the door by a Chevy 4x4 2500 pickup truck who totalled a Ford Ranger (airbag went off), then hit me, then hit another Ranger, then hit a Mazda B2000 and subsequently went into a field. The insurance company totalled my truck and the Ranger in front of me. The driver of the Ranger and I got a free ride to the hospital courtesy of Allstate Insurance.

    Now why would you want to be confined and not wear a seatbelt.

    I dated a dumbass girl who flipped her car 4 times without a seatbelt... she was lucky to live.
    Glass in her face and head, she was half hanging out the window when the car stopped. If the traffic had not stopped she would have been crushed for sure!
    If I wasn't belted in my accident, I too would have been dead.

    Not only during a crash, but any high speed manoeuvre or big swerve can throw you out of the driver position if you aren't belted, then you are screwed for sure!

    my seatbelt broke my collarbone when i hit that tree, and i'm damn glad i was wearing it. my father's best friend was killed a number of years ago, rear ended a semi on the way home from the store, wasn't belted. I'll never forget that funeral....

    There aren't many things stupider than driving without a seatbelt. Running from the cops in a clapped-out SUV might be one of them, though.

    When my wife totalled her S6 last year we were both extremely grateful for the seatbelts, and the airbags. Her only injury (besides her pride) was a swollen nose from the airbag. I hate to think what would've happened without the seatbelt.

    I can't believe there are still people ignorant of the virtues of belts.
