Or my mother, who used to claim that she woudn't wear her seatbelt because it kept her from getting out of the car in a hurry during a crash.....
Two tickets (NY State cops) finally convinced her, but that's a different story.
Although seat belts and helmets are really two different subjects....I have taken care of children who were in coma's due to "seat belts" and my friend had a wreck without a seatbelt on and the insurance adjuster said he would have been killed if he'd had a seat belt on....the impaction through him to the other side of the truck,which saved his life,due to the drivers side was caved in.He walked out of the accident with NO injuries.Other than a mild concussion,which he got over quickly.
I just wanted to mention this,being that all accidents are not the same.I'm sure seatbelts have also saved lives.
So,to each their own. It is in fact "Your Life".
I WILL wear a Helmet,but Trust more in my guardian angel who is always with me
I also know we all have different ideas and feelings/standings on this subject(Helmets and seatbelts).
(And...I am truly sorry for getting off the original question!!!! I do apologize)
