+1 :lol:
Seat belt saved my ass too. I put a honda civic THROUGH a 14" diameter tree at about 6' off the ground. Broke the damn tree off. (the tree was partially dead, but still had about 80% green leaves.) I definately would have been dead if it werent for the seat belt. I normally didnt wear one, but I was driving hard and didnt want to slide around so I buclked up.<--no joke. 40 seconds later..... bam!
To give you an idea of how violent the crash was- I had a bottle of sunscreen underneath my drivers seat. After the crash that bottle was about 130-150 feet away from my car. It flew out the only open window, which was my sunroof. So from under the seat to 150' away by way of the sunroof. I still dont know how that happened, but the accident was spectacular! lol glad your are alright man, that really sucks.
I wear mine religiously but sometimes consider why I should have to by law. If I were to be T-boned by some moron it increases my chance of getting killed rather than decreasing it. I mean come on, you're stuck in the god damn seat. God forbid it get pinched between the seat and center console somehow and the car is on fire.
3 times the seat belt has saved my life to date. One head on at 60+
once when i got hit head on at a redlight, how the hell that guy hit me i still don't know
In the other i was involeced in 12 car pileup in Va beach in a rain storm, dude infront of me lost it and collected me and the guy next to me. plus 9 others.
