Importance of wearing a seat a seat belt

We are all adults and some people feel the government should not be telling us what to do when it comes to wearing a seat belt. If you are one of those people then you should continue to read or just watch some of the videos I have added at the bottom of my blog. Yes it's true seat belts can not save your life in every crash, but statistics show that your chances of walking away from a crash are much greater.

The laws of physics explain why it is so important for you to wear your seat belt. When you are traveling 70 mph on the highway your car and everything inside it including yourself are traveling 70 mph. When the car comes to an abrupt stop you do not. if you are wearing a seat-belt it holds in place, so you don't fly all over the interior of the car. If the crash is bad enough you could be thrown completely out of your vehicle. Partial ejections are sometimes worse. Your head could be crushed by your rolling car if it comes partially ejected. I know its gruesome, but the truth must be told. Not everyone gets to see thr trajedy after a massive car crash. The reason sometimes the seat belts do not save you is not because it did not hold you in place, but the energy of the crash was so great that your organs inside your body (also traveling 70 mph) were not made to take such an impact against your rib cage.

Watch a few videos and you will see that even a crash at 30 mph can cause great damage to a human body structure. Buckle up not because it is the law, but because you want to live to see another day.
