and it's MUH RIGHT to drive without being nagged about using an extraordinarily simple, effective and unobtrusive safety feature.

My Toyota has 'day headlights' which are small strips of lights that are always on when the car is running and the main headlights are off. There's a way to turn them off by switching the headlights on and off rapidly. Weird stuff.

I'm only against them because the idiots without seat belts can be flung through the windshield and become projectiles that maim or even kill others that they hit. If the risk was solely to themselves, sure, let them do what they want. But as soon as the risk extends to others, that's where you gotta draw the line, I think.

Has that ever actually happened where a person ejected from a vehicle caused meaningful injuries or death outside of the vehicle? I know there are plenty of cases of unsecured people/pets inside a vehicle injuring other passengers inside, but I'm not sure the risk from these idiots really extends to others outside of their vehicle in a practical sense. Of course I assume if one of those guys that got launched 50 feet in the air in those Saudi drift rollover videos lands on someone it's not going to be good, but that's a pretty extreme case.

Yup. My old roommate rolled her truck due to bad driving, and was also not wearing a seat beat. She flew out into the back of someone else's car and nearly killed two passengers.

I think you're right in that it's much more likely to impact other people inside the car rather than outside (let alone in another car). So that's a fair point. Though stories like this certainly aren't totally outlandish: https://www.ksl.com/?sid=26954581 [Edit] And there you go, another example ^^^

Your seat belt also serves to keep you in front of the wheel in the case of unexpected high G maneuvers. This was especially worse back when there were bench seats. Its quite an experience sliding all the way over to the passenger side taking a hard left.

If you've got the stomach for watching limp bodies get catapulted 20 feet in the air from rolling cars then there's some spectacular "This is why you need to wear a seat belt" compilation videos on youtube. Edit: it turns out that the scene at the start of the Deadpool movie wasn't all that far fetched after all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4dCpdr-GVM Snowglobe of Doom fucked around with this message at 22:02 on May 28, 2017 |

Cops never wear their seatbelts, or at least city cops where I am don't. 100% the belt is buckled in behind the driver so the chime doesn't go off all day long and they just drive around sitting on the belt driving like maniacs. Pretty crazy and I expect it's a big factor in how many are killed or injured in crashes.

Also, you're upside down and grinding sideways at like 80mph at that point. When you break it down, a crash like this sounds like it has no business being survivable.. it's incredible and a testament to the R&D going into keeping these drivers safe.

Holy poo poo that F1 crash. Holy poo poo that Indy crash too. Also i have no idea what's going on with the spoilers on either of those kinds of cars any more. I'm going to assume the answer is: math, complicated math.

moto prix bailouts can be even more entertaining, since if the rider knows its coming and reacts properly they can land without breaking any bones and just skid 100 meters to a stop. racer uniforms are armored like loving tanks so as long as riders avoid blunt force trauma they can walk away from basically anything

All the flipping is bleeding off3 energy slowly, it's like parachuting --it's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end. https://youtu.be/VP2reBtLCl8 The driver of the 43 car got a spine fracture. The 10 and 22 ate poo poo but in the two dimensions the safety gear can handle.
