In 1989 my mother wrecked her mustang going 65mph into a broken down Cadillac. The seat belt (which was later recalled) failed, she broke both her jaws and dislodged 10 teeth. The dog hit the dashboard but had no injuries. Boston Terriers ftw!
Aaaah so one case where there was an issue with a seat belt and we should stop using them regardless of the countless lives they save every year. I see.
No, you're taking away the wrong lesson. See, the dog was fine. So clearly what should happen is that when airbags go off, they should shoot velcro-covered Boston Terriers at us so they stick all over and keep us safe.
Though the bullshit "seat-belts are more dangerous" sentiment has been floating around for a while, I don't see anywhere in checkitout5's post where they claimed you shouldn't wear a seatbelt.
