MickinMD ★ Posted July 30, 2020 Share #2 Posted July 30, 2020 Funny how mask mandates are being called intrusions on individual liberties, but auto seat belts, child safety seats, requirements to wear clothing, "no shirt, no shoes, no service" store regulations, etc. are not violations.

Maybe if installed annoying alarms in everyone's heads that beeped and dinged until they put a mask on it would work better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. There are people who still view seatbelts as an intrusion on their rights. We just didn't realize how many in the days before the explosion of social media and their ability to reinforce each other...somewhat like lemmings. After all, people survive automobile accidents by being thrown out of the crashing car sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the ghost of Dale Earnhardt would care to weigh in on this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even know a guy who survived a wreck by getting ejected on a roll over but I wore one ever since I responded to my first fatal. I wonder if their views would change if they saw in person what can happen to a person not wearing a seat belt.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without his seatbelt, Earnhardt wouldn't just have been dead. He would have been dead bloody pulp. Life is applied statistics. Everything that helps your odds improves your chances. But there is always a 00 on the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked for 3 yrs. in a hospital specializing in rehab care for spinal cord injuried adults...some became paralyzed for life..wheelchair bound. The hospital was part of a...national campaign for mandatory car seatbelts in Canada. It and several other ...trauma centres at acute care hospitals.
