PSA: Seatbelts Save Lives

[packbat]

From Making Light, a post by Jim Macdonald, EMT:
Do you know how we can tell the difference between people who were wearing their seatbelts and those who weren’t, at the scene of an automobile accident? The ones who were wearing their seatbelts are standing around saying “This really sucks,” and the ones who weren’t are kinda just lying there.

I feel naked and disturbed sitting in the car without a safety belt on, to such a point where I will often be wearing it even when the car is stationary and parked.

That's probably a really good idea - just because your car isn't moving doesn't mean that it won't get in an accident.

Now that I think of it, maybe I should start campaigning for bus seatbelts. I do take the shuttle a lot.
