ALWAYS wear a seatbelt!

[ctgilles]

What happens if I don't?

Just so people know, it's not blood and guts... but it is a little disturbing.

Yeah, I'm wearing mine from now one

[JBELL]

always wear mine - never needed but you only need it once.

[Jeff]

Funny thing is I grew up wearing one so I feel strange when I don't have one on. Even if I jump into the car to talk to my wife or someone at work, I just get this horrible feeling without it on... even when we're not moving.

Wonder if the guy is ok or if something happened to that part of his body that's outside the window. Hopefully the car didn't come to rest on it.

[JAWS]

yeah I learned the hard way. nothing like that, but I always wear it.

Yep, same here..

After allways wearing one from when I was a kid, and having never driven without one.. its just feels too strange not to wear one.

i got my grandma to start wearing one and it saved her life a couple years back. she hit one of those reflector things on the side of the freeway and the airbag went off. she swerved across the freeway through traffic and hit the center divide. there was a bar that can inches of hitting her head. if she didnt have her seatbelt on, she wouldnt have survived.

I can't open the video. DivX player tells me that the file contains video data that is not recognized: "FOURCC code 'IV50'". Win Media Player can't load any codecs for that so I only get audio...

Any ideas?

[st0nedpenguin]

Looks like you might need the Indeo codecs, a trip to the Intel site should did something up.

I also never travel without a seatbelt, we've never had a car, so I have always kind of lived in fear of them.

[isp]

Was that guy sleepy or what?

Yeah I wear mine probably 80% of the time...

[Slickthellama]

My parents ALWAYS make me wear one. I feel very weird not wearing one. I could never forget. Except when I was learning to drive, cuz I was so nervous I forgot. But now it is just second nature, sometimes when I sit down on the plane I reach up for one. LOL.

I couldn't find anything helpful on the Intel site, where did you all get the codec from?
Indeo just sells them, there is nothing like a free codec on their page.

Crazy, BTw nice sig ct.

[buff]

ya, i always wear mine too. I just finished drivers ed, and at the end they ata bunch of teenagers who got in wrecks come in and talk. 150+staples in one leg etc......... scary

[sjohnson]

In all my years as an EMT, responding to traffic accidents -

I NEVER cut a dead person out of a seatbelt

[Smizack]

I'll never wear one again. I know 2 people that died from them, and a few years ago I was in a pretty bad car wreck, and they said if we had ours on we (me and the driver) would both be dead.

F*** seatbelts.

[sjohnson]

Smiz - I have a few friends who feel the same.

I'll say to you what I say to them - God bless yah, hope you're right!

So you don't recommend anyone to wear seatbelts?

You realize you are probably a VERY small statistic. I'm pretty sure seatbelts increase your chance of survival dramatically. I just hope you never get into another accident man...

I don't wear mine 100% of the time either but I should...

[Slickthellama]

i dont get waht the big deal is. It's become a habit for me. But my parents taught me right so that's probably why.

I didn't tell everyone not to. I said I wouldn't.

[sandman]

I'm with ya smiz. they aren't comfortable, and I've seen some nasty injuries caused by them.

I feel pretty much the same way about air bags.

[st0nedpenguin]

Schmax, sorry mate, it's been a while since I last downloaded them, they were still free then.

Try here for free downloads of the Indeo codecs, and if you want to sort out all the codecs you might need for day to day use, check out the K-Lite codec pack, that includes pretty much anything you might need, and it's free too.

[Schmax]

Ok, thanks dude. Now that I've seen it I'm really happy that I always wear the seatbelt...

[KnightElite]

I almost always wear a seat belt... feels weird to be in a car and not wear one. Only vehicle I ever drive without one is one of the trucks at work... it only has a lap belt, which would probably hurt more than hinder.
