How quickly many of us have criticized the death count caused by the actual virus. Making jokes of it even. Look, I wear a seatbelt while driving because the odds are better that I will survive a crash. Might there be an instance where someone somewhere survived a crash because they didn't buckle up? Of course. But, which action provides you the best chance of seeing tomorrow?
@Lando Lincoln @GefnMany years ago, if seat belts were in cars and I used the driver's one, I would be dead.
I was heading to a university for class in Nacogdoches, TX, - was going through a town going the speed limit of maybe 35, or 40, and it was raining. There was a downward slope of the road and the car began to slide; I had no control. It switched ends, hit a big stump on the side of the road, and flipped end over end, so the driver's seat ceiling portion was the first part to be smashed down to the steering wheel. When it flipped end over end, I was thrown into the floor of the backseat before the top smashed down to the steering wheel. I could hear and smell gas running out of the gasoline tank.
I tried to move and my skirt was trapped under something, could not move. How I did it, I do not know, must have had super adrenalin power, because I ripped my skirt until it was unpinned, and crawled out a window. Many times since seat belts are required, I have thought of that time. I always wear a seat belt but I remember...
