My great-grandfather died from complications of internal ruptures from waist-belt/seatbelt not longer after a collision.
That was a turn-off.
But in reality , things may have happened even quicker (instantly) if he hadn't been wearing it - or maybe not .... i was about 5
My mother fell asleep and crashed my dad's pride and joy 61 Ford Convertible while they were engaged/enraged before i was conceived . [i'm sure they were already practicing though]
Not wearing seatbelt.
Somehow it threw her into the passenger floorboard instead of throwing her out of the car. [probably dead or severely injured]
When car stopped , there was an iron pipe [home made mailbox post] sticking through the windshield and into the driver seat where she would have been sitting - [dead-impaled] . She had a bump on her head and a sprained wrist.
Car was dead.
Seatbelts were not my fancy back in the day.
Almost no one around here wore them until it became a law - with a fine.
Today, we need all the seatbelts and airbags we can get !
