Two accidents recently with people ejected from cars. One killed others

This was early this morning and you can see the car in the air after an
111 mph run past a state trooper. She was already on probation for
killing someone in an accident.

This is the grandfather killed after ejected.

There were and still are anti seat belt nuts, just like with mask and vaccines.
Though apparently there are far less of those. I remember when belts were first
being mandated in new cars. One of the nutty objections was that if the
car caught fire after an accident you might not be able to get out. Ignoring
the fact that cars rarely catch fire after a crash, seat belts rarely jamb
and that there are huge numbers of accidents where seat belts saved lives
by limiting severe injuries. You can't get out of any car if you're dead or
unconscious.

I don't put one on sometimes if I'm just going a mile on low speed roads,
but I should. I realized one new aspect recently. I was reading BMWs
airbag system details. When the system sees that a passenger is not
belted, it will fire the airbags at a significantly lower impact. So, if you
want to avoid having the bag go off in your face in a lesser collision,
better belt up. I also saw a video recently of a guy demonstrating how they
explode, he secured it in a vice and set it off. Amazing blast, sounds like
a shot gun going off. I don't need that in my face if I can help it.



It has become a habit for many years now so I just do it. About the
only time I skip is when I'm going to stop at the mailbox across the
street.
