    Meanwhile mr sharp is a ok that school buses have no safety belts....so much for priorities.as long as its a law then its right..no one can prove how safe a seatbelt makes you.its all bs.My dad was in a wreck when he was a teen with a van full of people.if he would have had a seatbelt on he would have died.he went out the windshield....
    Seatbelts allow them to control us and gives them probable cause if they want to do anything.

    I have been to more accidents that if seat belts had been used they would be alive.

    how do you know?there are so many different variables to accidents.just because someone died without a seat belt on doesn't mean that the flipside"wearing a seatbelt" would have given a better outcome.since we are playing the game of variables,lets say someone didn't have a seatbelt on and died at impact.lets say instead they had a seatbelt on and instead of dying at impact they didn't die right away and suffered for 15 mins,only for you to show up and then they died.....The fact is you can't say 1 way or the other,yet we have laws forcing us to do things with no hard core proof either way...because 1 thing is for sure,you can crash a car into the same wall and come out with different results each time...

    Years of training. If they are thrown from the vehicle and then crushed by the vehicle, then it is obvious that the seat belt would have saved them. If they were thrown through the windshield, then obvious.

    Note, I did not say all of them.

    We also have to be able to provide information to doctors as to potential sources of injury and impact.

    Also have to be able to obtain age and weight by sight.

    Im so sick of people preaching the use of seatbelts if tons of people are killed every year due to not wearing a seatbelt then maybe they were meant to die.If the law makers were so concerned of saving people's lives they would focus on diseases such as cancer so they can speed up the process in the FDA to approve experimental drugs.Give up already in trying to make people do something in spite of there personal bad habits and focus on those who have no control over the date of there death...

    I do not preach it. Do not care except for treatment.

    Stating facts, past experiences or even your personal opinion is preaching.Heaven forbid I meet a former or current emergency worker that doesn't preach the revelavance of seat belts, your not the only one.

    I have seen accidents where they were not seat belted and were lucky to not have been.

    I have been to accidents where they were seat belted and died without a mark on them from the traumatic kinetic energy.

    I only made an observation that I have been to more that would most likely have survived if they were wearing it.

    We have to document the injuries and whether they were seat belted or not for medical reasons and that is why it is known.

    If you think that is preaching, got to wonder about you.
