Wow - I was expecting a repost of that DriveCam video with the guy who falls asleep and then ends up in the backseat of his car when it flips over. This was a really good video - more people should watch it, some more than once I think.

HOLY......ummmmmmmmm ****..

 

Neat. I wonder how they filmed that. It definetly gets the point across....like those VW commercials.

 

the VW commercials dont have people bleeding from the eyes and ears, tho. i doubt this would air in this country.

 

A bit grisly, but true.

My dad refuses to wear one because of "I'm not going to do what the goverment tells me, I have my own free will." Except I'll kick him out of my car if he doesn't buckle up.

Come on people. Put your seatbelt on. It's not about being controlled or told what to do, it's about common sense and perhaps the difference between perhaps walking away or possibly being dead.

That's because we prefer to remain in denial.

 

Especially important (IMO) was the fact:

"Three dead in this vehicle. One critical - seems the guy without the seatbelt did the damage"

He basically killed all his friends as he was flying around the vehicle ...

I now remember I saw this clip a while back - but it is a good reminder watching it again.

seen it already. but very powerful indeed

 

That is the logic behind the seat belt laws in CT requiring the front passenger to wear a seatbelt. If they don’t have one on, they can be thrown from there seat in a crash into the driver causing him to lose control of the car. They still don’t require them for the back though.



They need to air that here.

 

i would love to see an american version of that. this would be better then "click it or ticket" campaign

 

Holy ****,yeah that mos def was a crazy vid. And i thought me gettin a ticket last month for not waering one scared me. Def gets you to WANT to wear one.

because the government is infridging on my rights. first it is seatbelts, then it is ciggerates, then it is fast food, then it is homosexuality, then it is alcohol the circle goes round and round.

edit: with that said that is my opinion, however i have enough common sense to where one.

I can understand the infringement issues.

Back in to day I used to not wear one simply because the government said I had too. I used to joke that the reason we were required to wear belts was the fact that the ambulance drivers were to lazy to look for a body. (Borrowed that from Bill Cosby)

Then one day when I somehow miraculously survived a nasty rollover without a belt on. Gradually common sense took over, though it took a couple more accidents (un-belted) to really wise me up. Now I feel like I'm going to fall out of the seat without a belt on. Especially in the truck.

 

dam...good stuff

"free will" and idiocy seem to be one and the same.

instead of focusing on how the government is keeping them down, the people with 'free will' should read a book and form an independent thought outside of doing the opposite of what they're told to do.

 

oh yeah, in my opinion the only reason the government wants us to wear our seatbelts is so we don't die and they can still collect our income taxes...

:lol:

 

i still want to know how they made this vid. when the kid in the backseat collides with the girl, you can see the force driven through her body by looking at the waves in her cheeks.

powerful indeed

 

Ask Hocky about wearing a seatbelt....

I had a friend from high school who was in a car accident... he was the only one out of four in the car wearing a belt... he died... the other three survived.

I know cases like this are rare (in comparison) but it still makes you wonder...

 

I remember a similar commercial a while back where the son in the back seat kills his mom when they have a wreck. He goes forward and hits his mom in the head with his head. Just as impactful as this one, just not as graphic.

 

anyone have a different site fort he video. Ive tried Firefox, and Explorer, and both wont open.

 

ONe of my very first jobs of accident reconstruction and forensic analysis. Being a newbie, they of course sent me to take pictures of the dead bodies in the morgue. Anything becomes a projectile at speed, even human bodies and especially the head is dangerous (mostly solid and heavy bone exterior).

This reminds me of an accidnet were 3 women were driving to a casino (*drinking wine coolers*), ran a stop sign and were t-boned by a big truck. The lady in the back with the wine coolers was thrown out the window. Not that it seems bad, but she was 320 lbs, 5' and squeezed through a 24"x17" frame. The other two were injured but alive. Luckily she went in a direction perpendicular to the passengers or it would have been MUCH worse.

Holy crap!
What does the fireman say ??

He says "Tonight I dine on turtle soup!"

 

"Three dead in this vehicle. A girl is critical. They say the guy without the seatbelt did the damage."

 

Apparently these types of videos are common:

These are shocking to watch too....
