I'm surprised insurance companies haven't started saying they won't cover or will only partially cover your expenses from auto accidents if you weren't wearing a seat belt.

Whatever the forces at work, they were sufficient to plant one seat belt disbeliever in the marble garden. The forces at work are just this - The car goes from being in motion to stopping abruptly because it hit something. But your body keeps right on going until something stops it. So what would you rather have stop your body: a seatbelt or ramming your head thru the windshield? Surviving car crashes revolves around a. not having the parts of the car crushed into your body. b. slowing your body down as gently as possible |

In fact, in principle, I *do* agree with you. However, when you start pawning your medical costs back to the taxpayers, the paying customers of medical facilities or the facilities themselves I'm more disinclined to "stay out of your business." I would never, under any circumstances operate a motor vehicle without proper personal protective equipment and not because it's unlawful. Much like I wouldn't operate a power tool without the same. Some activities are inherently dangerous, people who attempt those activities with no care as to the danger involved should, ultimately, be the ones paying for their own, conscious, negligence. So, I'm with you, in principle, just not in the case of the current realities of this world. |

I was in a wreck in 1996. I was the only one wearing a seatbelt. I was in the backseat. Did not trust the driver. We got in a wreck. I broke my back and nearly bled out internally. I spent the next month in the hospital. The other three guys in the car including the driver were treated and released that night with relatively minor injuries. Maybe I would have died had I not been wearing a belt. Maybe I also would have suffered minor injuries. You just really don't have any way of knowing these things.

The fact that sometimes people get away with it or that sometimes people are more injured by the presence of the seatbelt does not dispute the overwhelming evidence that it is, statistically, safer to wear one. |

That's one of the herpy derpy things about conservatives that's annoying, this slobbery adoration of big companies, like as if a bunch of rapacious, unethical crooks represent the best of capitalism. The fact of the matter is that companies are motivated by what they think results in profit measured by their bottom line (however they define that bottom line). Ethics isn't a factor generally. Return on investment (or whatever metric the board of directors is evaluated by) is the key. Sometimes ethical factors are included in that metric. That doesn't seem to be the norm, though. A human life is worth what it costs in court, and that's the end of that, for many companies. |

When I was in basic police officer training, and accident investigation class in school, both the troopers teaching accident investigation and the instructors teaching accident investigation said the same same thing about combined forces. I was told you should always attempt to avoid a head on because the the sum of the combined rate of travel for each vehicle exceeded the force generated by one rate of travel hitting a fixed object. Have the physics changed? I noticed your caveat of assuming a complete stop at time of impact... is that the deciding factor? Not trying to be argumentative, just please explain why. Thanks. |

The other three guys in the car including the driver were treated and released that night with relatively minor injuries. Maybe I would have died had I not been wearing a belt. Maybe I also would have suffered minor injuries. You just really don't have any way of knowing these things. Yup... Ex-wife wearing seatbelt had to go to the hospital. Me not wearing a seatbelt was just fine. You never know... People have survived skydiving with the shoot not opening but I don't want to try. Shydiving while shooting? I will have to look that one up. Sounds fun!! Jump out of the airplane naked with a Taurus Judge. Just as you are about to hit the ground, shoot straight down as fast as you can, with your .410 defense rounds. By the 6th round, you can just step onto the earth. Damn shame The Judge is only a five round gun. You are still going to go splat! |

The speed limit is only 45 on Madison st so they must of been driving like retards to pullout of a KFC parking lot and smash right into a pole. I went to APSU (Go Govs!!) but didn't spent much time in Clarksville (I'm from Hopkinsville,just 30 miles up the road). I was having some trouble picturing that part of Madison St and even after looking at Google Maps, the area has changed so much in the last 26 years....like my hometown, I feel like a stranger! Same here, I graduated from FCHS (Fort Campbell High School) in 91, Clarkesville has changed a hell of a lot since then. |
