I have been a firefighter for 18 years and have seen my share of wrecks. The guy we scraped off of the road last week when his vehicle went upside down would not be 6 feet in the ground if the seat belt that he did NOT have on would have been in place to hold him inside the car. I'll take the seat belt. Pennsylvania is crazy in the fact that they made seatbelt use mandatory a few years ago, and then just last year repealed the helmet law for motorcycles. I get a kick out of the "freedom riders" that dress all up in their leather jacket, chaps, boots etc to "prevent roadrash" and then go with out a helmet. Makes a whole lot of sense.
I also think that anyone silly enough to go without seatbelts or motorcycle helmets should sign a waver that states that we the taxpayers do not have to pay to keep your sorry butt in a hospital for years when you get turned into a turnip because of not using these safety devices.

Ok, there's my rant for today.
