i would have to say if you fly through the windshield its because the truck already came to a stop (faster than it was suppose to). I am against this law and will be till i die. this is no different than a gun law. guns kill people so lets ban them. this is how i feel should be my choice whether i were this or not it does not effect anyone else but me. now kids can not make up there own mind so they should be in a car seat or buckled up and if not parents ticketed. just my 2 cents

What if you're driving 70 down the freeway and someone just lightly sideswipes you on your right side, sending you into the passenger seat? How many people will you kill by not wearing your seatbelt? I've seen this exact situation happen...just pure stupidity. Go volunteer at the VFD and ride on an ambulance for a few days and you'll start wearing your seatbelt, I assure you. There's nothing worse than having to pick up someone's head 50 feet from their body because they weren't wearing a seatbelt...except maybe for having to inform their next of kin that they died in an accident that shouldn't have caused more than a few bumps and bruises.

i was on the vfd for 6 years and i have seen what can happen on both sides. i have also seen people get thrown and that is the only reason they are alive they would have been crushed........im not saying its right im just saying that is just something else they are telling us we have to do. just should be a choice not forced..........i assure you i know what happens at these wrecks. This is the reason i am no longer on the fire dept.

I served as a paramedic with B.R.F.D for 4 years and I never saw anyone that survived an accident because they were thrown from the vehicle. That's fuzzy math...

Any time someone says this, it is purely speculation. Your chance of surviving just about ANY type of accident is increased exponentially by having a seatbelt on. I can think of a couple types of accidents where a seatbelt may be detrimental, but those types of accidents are extremely rare. If your driving style makes it more likely for you to drive off into a lake than to rear-end another vehicle, perhaps you shouldn't wear a seatbelt (or drive, for that matter).

Shad, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. Our advice falls on 'deaf ears'. Besides they say when it comes to advice,"A wise man don't need it, and a fool don't heed it! " Good nite cyber sporstmen...

so im a fool. we are not talking about advice. advice is your choice whether or not you chose to trust the person that tells you. we are talking about a law that forces you to do something that affects only you and no one else.

This is not true. Have you ever seen the video that shows what can happen when 1 person in the back seat of a car involved in a wreck can do to the others in the same vehicle when he isn't wearing a seatbelt? I'll see if I can find the video.
