Why are you criticizing your own spelling? Both of your multiple accounts have been deleted. And I'm not wrong because I did an IP search on you. Why can't you just stay out of KL and leave us alone?
Timebandit
if you dont double post, yes.

im just kidding.

dude this topic was probably started by some police man who will never come back again.

and all he is doing is messing up the site with spam and poor grammar and spelling.
Timebandit
yeah true. but all he was doing is say to where your seatbelt. i mean, if you havnt gotten into a car accident, unlike me. you have NOOOOO frekin idea how scary that **** is. OMG its so scary....

in my case, looking left out the window and seeing a red subaru impresa coming full speed, 50mph at my face. and not stoping. an average human in a car crash recives 120g forces for a few micro seconds. a fighter pilot can recive 9g forces in a sharp turn or look. so thats 120 times my weight for micro seconds.

scorce. mythbusters. dont say there wrong...there never wrong.

All I have to say is that I'm willing to take responsability for my own actions, and if that means that I die because I was driving like a jackarse, so be it.

why there's still something soft in front of me
Timebandit
what if you get hit in the side, like mine? trust me, you literaly have no idea how scary it is. ok, ok your thinking, oh then its scary. its the scariest thing iever. you seriously dont relize it. would you rather put on a piece of leather, or risk damigeing, breaking, eternaly breaking, have mental problems, and/or die?

If you get broadsided (at a high speed), your statistically screwed whether you're wearing your seatbelt or not. Personally, I'd rather die than be paralyzed.
Timebandit
well, your just mr. negativity arent you. and i wasnt "screwed" when i was broad sided at 50mph. cause' i was wearing a seatbelt. i have photos on my digital camera. how do i put them online?

In what seat were you sitting, what was the speed of the car that broadsided you, on what side was your car hit, did the other car hit yours dead-center, in the front, or in the back?
Mynck
I don't always wear a seatbeat. Usually, I only wear one when I'm in a high-speed vehicle. tongue.gif

You still don't want to crash into the back of a car seat at 60 mph. And have you seen crash test footage? Crash dummies in the backseat sometimes fly forward and up, their bodies being catapulted over the front seat, smashing right into the person in the front seat.

And even crashing into a soft object is rather painful if you do it at 60 mph. That's 26.8224 meters per second, which is equivalent to falling for 2.74 seconds, which is a falling distance of about 37 meters. That's about 121 feet which is like jumping off a 12-story building assuming no drag and that each floor is 10 feet high.

Jumping off a 12-story building onto a car seat seems painful to me.

But what's even worse is that you could fly over the car seat and right into another person. Imagine jumping off a 12-story building headfirst and crashing your head into another person's.

No, what he did was create multiple accounts and spam the forum with them. With the exception of maybe 4 topics.

Seatbelts aren't leather...they are made of nylon fibers. Do you think it might be possible to spell a little better in order to understand you the first time? I always wear a seatbelt. It is the first thing I do when I get in a car. I have been in too many car accidents where the seatbelt saved my life.
Alecto
Seatbelts are a double-edged sword. They can either save your life, or kill you, or both. I wear mine just because I don't want a concussion for a mild accident.

That is true. But the circumstances involved to make a seatbelt harm you are harder to come by than the ones where they would save you. I heard about a person who was severed at the waste by a seatbelt. She was only going about 50-55 mph. But there was something that she was doing while it happened to cause her to be cut in half and I don't remember what it was.
Mynck
Since when have seatbelts killed more than smashing into a car seat after a 12-story fall?

Let me rephrase for Mynck. How many more lives have seatbelts saved than lives saved without seatbelts?

The woman didn't have the shoulder strap on.

Do you know of a site that would show those kindof statistics?
Alecto
It's impossible, due to the fact that people that don't wear seatbelts in major car crashes usually die.

So...that means more people die without seatbelts?
Alecto
You really can't tell, since it doesn't happen. Too many random factors as well, and field scientists can't really test apon it other than using dummies.

That is why we need vegetable-minded clones to test on.
Alecto
What if those veggies could feel pain without our knowing, HUH?

Seatbelts aren't the problem in my opinion, it's airbags, which have been proven that they kill more than save.

That's because the speed at which airbags are puffed out is outrageous. You could most likely knock someone out with one. If those veggies could feel pain, then you could just dope them up with morphine before a test run.
Mario
or in airplanes those airbag things to help you when it crashes makes things even worse

I think the airbag's supposed to be fully puffed before you hit them. And they're supposed to be used with a seatbelt.

Those aren't airbags. Those are some sort of breathers.

Right, but in collisions in the front, the head is thrown foreward and most people don't wear their seatbelt.

Your parents should make him wear his seatbelt, and the next time you have a crash, if he is conscious, he will remember to wear a seatbelt next time.

Like I said before, the next time he's in a crash, and he is still alive, he will remember to put it on. Unless he is stubborn, stupid, or thick-headed, but I do not really know your brother.

If it was fully deployed before you hit it, you might as well be smacking your face into the wheel or dash. It's supposed to cushion you by deploying as you come into contact with it.

A friend of mine got into an accident last fall. If it weren't for the airbag he would have gotten out without a scratch, but the airbag screwed his face up big time. I cant even imagine how effed you'd be if you hit one of them while wearing glasses.

Yep, cars are nice metal deathtraps.
