No doubt Dale Earnhardt would still be with us if he hadn't fastened that fool seatbelt.
It amazes me when, in this day and age, I hear people say it's safer to not buckle up. Staying alive in your automobile is all about odds: You're safer going 50 mph than you are going 80. You're safer if your tires are new than if they're old. You're safer in a car with air bags than the same car without airbags. And you're safer buckled in with lap and shoulder belts than you are if you're not buckled up. Sure, you can always find the exception where someone survived an accident without being buckled up that they would not have survived if they had fastened their seatbelt, but those are the exceptions. It's all about beating the odds.
As for your pal who was "cut in half", you can be sure that if were not buckled in he would have been reduced to something that looks like raspberry jello. Quit fooling yourself: you don't want to fasten your belt because you can't be bothered, not because you actually think you're safer. You're in big trouble when you start believing your own BS.
