Did you know that even with seat belts people die all the time in car crashes?

I just thought that was interesting.

seat belts wont save you completely but they do increase the odds of survival in car crashes.

this has already been proven fact  O0 :420:

yeah but people still die all the time

 

isn't that crazy?!

[André Toulon]

No, not really crazy.....Other factors such as velocity, direction, and inertia can change the effectiveness of a restraining harness.......In some instances the crash itself isn't resposible of the death.  It's not crazy at all.

Imagine coming to a stop so suddenly that your brain gets scrambled inside your skull.

 

Wild shit.

Crumple zones.

I just thought that was interesting.

 

I had a friend who was in a rollover crash into a telephone pole and the vehicle landed upright in a field... The cop knew that she wasn't wearing her seatbelt just by looking at the car.

 

No questions asked, the officer just looked at her and said "Had you been wearing your seatbelt, you would have died." and continued on with his work.

[André Toulon]

I'm extremely skeptical of the notion that being a cop makes you an authority in physics, but I can only assume that since the story didn't end that she was ticketed for no  seat belt on her way to the hospital that she must have been white.

Did you know that many people die from their own prescription pills by exactly following their doctors' orders?

 

Wow, why bother doing anything?

[Mini_ghost420]

I once rolled a Suburban SUV I wasn't wearing a seatbelt and I wasn't wearing a seatbelt and I somehow survived. but I'd not suggest doing this

[scoobdog]

What year Sub, and C or K?

[Mini_ghost420]

it was before 1996. I was still in high school when this happened. I'm pretty sure it was 4WD. what I remember the most is the shattered glass and the radio was still on after it rolled
