Buckle up. It could save your life. If my father had he might still be here today. If the State of OK DOT hadn't tried to save a buck by patching the side-wall of a tire on their state truck that had a blow-out and crossed the line and hit him head on, he might also still be here today. The combination of no seat belt and a bad head on collision killed him on the spot.
You are safer buckled. It's a fact. Sure, everyone knows a story about a third-cousins brother who was thrown clean of a wreck, saving his life; but that's an anomoly.
The funny thing is that the standard profile of those that seem to be against wearing seatbelts is often that of a NASCAR fan, yet all NASCARs have safety restraints up the whazzo....even more now, with new ones that would have probably saved Dale Sr.
