Seat belts save lives and lessen injuries. There's no contesting that.
Between statistics and education, I'm willing to bet that public
attitudes have greatly changed between then and now.

As they will with the SawStop. Although the SawStop is being widely
accepted. There will be the exception hold outs however. And they will
continue to believe we never landed on the moon, etc.


I can still remember. 1964 in my father's Rambler station wagon, I was
10 years old at the time. He hit the brakes and my head crashed into
the dashboard. I wasn't seriously hurt, but it's something I've always
remembered as if it was yesterday.

1992 My wife was taking our 5 year old son to kindergarten. Before she
got out of the neighborhood she hit the brake and he was still putzing
around with the seat belt. His head shattered the windshield.

I was ****ed at her and he never screwed around with the seat belt when
momma was driving. Apparently no brain damage, he graduated Suma Cum
Laude 16 years later and and got his masters one year after that and got
his CPA's license 18 months after that.


I'll have to see if he still remembers the windshield.
