I always wear my seat belt and in 2001 my habit to buckle in lead to a trade of 8 fractured ribs vs ejection from my car over a 800 ft embankment. Painkillers don't treat splattered brain but they do work for cracked ribs :)

[@cheriem5265]

I’m glad you made it and hope you don’t have any residual physical symptoms.

[@heidip2464]

@Jimmy Valentine 💯 absolutely! That's what happened to me.

[@kurotsuki7427]

A seatbelt and a weird ragdoll reflex saved me in a 80+ mph rollover.

[@NevadaLamb]

It amazes me that people don’t wear it. Only reason I can think is they find it uncomfortable? But I would rather deal with the discomfort of wearing it than the discomfort of being ejected from the car.

Lol I know!!!! Apparently the guilty/negligent party in the last car accident I was in was...... wait for it....... rain. 😱😵🥺😫😭🤯🤕🆘🆘🆘🆘🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🙄. Apparently the appropriately braking car behind me was overcome by the negligent behavior of the rain on the road way. It was charged with manslaughter in the totaling and subsequent heartbreaking death of my precious equally victimized car...... lolololol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 no really, I GUESS there ARE such things as “accidents” but what are you gonna do????

He means that traffic accidents are not a result of accidental circumstances beyond the control of all parties involved. There is always someone who caused the accident. There could be a myriad of circumstances involved but someone operating one of the vehicles caused the collision.

[@truckingwithtobee]

They are called “Crash” not accident. He’s correct. Nothing happens by “accident “ it’s ALWAYS caused by someone’s action or bad decision.

[@oregonwanderer]

OMG! What happened to that semi is the same thing that happened to my car back in 1980! It was a used car and we thought it was thoroughly inspected. But as I was making a turn, the steering axle broke lose from the main housing. It was a 1968 VW Bug.

[@kipepeo75]

From seeing this, I am going to start buckling up

[@ellp152]

Wow! This is how you should break down as to why you DONT TEXT WHILE DRIVING! At 60mph 1second = 88feet of road looking away at your phone concentrating on a text could be catastrophic!

[@carolmorris404]

It's been illegal to drive without a seat belt for 45 years for both front and rear seats, in South Africa. Even small, cheaper cars the seat belt alarm is so annoying you can not ignore it. My 8 year old Hyundai I20 has such a sensitive seat belt alarm that taking my 5kg miniature pincher to the parlour is triggered by her sitting on the front passenger seat.

[@andrewp7920]

Its not the law its people... I don't know why they ever drive without their seatbelt when I get in a car my instinct always tell me to wear the seatbelt... Everytime o go in a car my brain will be like wear the seatbelt so... I don't think I will ever get in a car without wearing a seatbelt

[@riverdeep399]

Wearing a seat belt saved my life, probably my head. I was a passenger and the car rolled. The sun roof came sown on me and had to be cut out of the car and a static caravan. Would've been lights out and devastated parents if I hadn't have belted up. They work.

It seams like in all of these videos all of the ones where people die it involves the seat belt. People where your seat belt is can save your life.

I was hit by police car that was running a red light in Denver. He had lights and siren on but with AC on and in broad daylight those don’t work. They gave me a ticket of course but I fought it and won in a 2 day jury trial. 3 Denver Police officers all lied on the stand to protect him but jury did not believe their lies. Police are professional liars. Their rules do not allow them to run red lights just cause they have siren or lights on unless it is safe to do so. They attempted to legally prevent me from getting a copy of their emergency pursuit rules or of the accident scene photos they took but the court forced them. Crooks and scum. Luckily I could afford a good lawyer or they would have won.

I was in my semi 12 days ago and was hit head on by another semi. I was going 65 at the moment of impact. Not sure how fast the person that caused the crash was going. I attribute wearing a seatbelt and the fact that my semi was a heavy duty rig. The frame was reinforced. I’m very very blessed.

[@fhfg8090]

I was cheering for Patrick all the time, he was innocent, awesome!!!

[@MrGmail69]

the steering failure on the truck also appended to a work mate of mine

[@malice6081]

Now for those curves sometimes the road will be rebuilt with a banking for a speed higher than the limit. And near toll booths we have rmble strips that only make a noise if your going too fast for the tollbooth.

[@amandala00]

Even though I'm a careful and defensive driver, watching these shows always make me even more anxious to drive 😬 I believe accidents do happen since the definition of an accident is an unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, typically resulting in damage or injury. RIP to all these and any other victims of ACCIDENTS ✝️💖✌️

[@davethemagnificent2576]

I feel so bad for the trucker. Even tho he wasn't at fault, it's still going to mess him up. I'm also a driver and T-boned a lady that ran her red light. Luckily she survived but it still affects me 10 years later.

[@malice6081]

Heck I instinctively put on my seatbelt when I get in a car. Even if we are just going to chill there for a bit or just going across the parking lot it's always on.

[@zachall101]

so r we NOT gonna talk about the idiot car drivers who drive in front of a truck and slam on there brakes..... causing the truck to crash into them..... then they blame the driver of the truck.... like they forget that trucks cannot stop as soon as a car can.... an I know what people will say.... but this wasn’t what happened on this video.... true but it does account for a lot of other crashes and as always... the truck driver is always blamed

[@DJcyberslash]

There's an episode in this channel about that

All day every day were to blame and its a shame. If ppl could ride with us just one day and see what we put up with...nahh they wouldn't care! What am i thinking lol

[@brittbrittortiz]

Exactly!! I am a bus driver and cars do this to me everyday! They cut me off and then stop to turn before I am able to put distance between myself and them. I have had a lot of near misses because of this.

There was obviously a manufacturing flaw in the metal of the truck steering. That is the fault of the manufacturer. Not an accident either.

[@TedApelt]

I NEVER drive close to a truck. When passing them (always on the left) I give them lots of room and get well in front of them quickly. When following one, I am at least two seconds behind, often more.

[@Snwman_]

Having watched quite a few of these I'm amazed how many are not wearing seat belts. It's incredible. So stupid. Also the speeds involved.

[@laceyavron]

It's illegal to NOT wear a seat belt in Australia. Don't know why other countries are lagging behind.

[@rickhatesmisleadia7101]

Canada has seat belt laws for quite some time now.

[@paigecarpenter2001]

Same with US

[@thelmahart4647]

Same for Ireland and England , by law. Most cars are fitted with a alarm bells and the Newest version of certainly Hyundai the car won't start unless you have your seatbelt on!

[@jasoncravens1124]

@@paigecarpenter2001 Yup, I can confirm this. It was not a moving violation until somewhere around the late 90's, but now you will be pulled over for it!

[@riverdeep399]

We have _rumble strips_ in the UK on motorways. The larger and faster the vehicle the louder the rumble noise when you drift over the the road edging lines.

[@faithcody3623]

We have them on the US but it seems they’re only put on roads after a certain number of accidents, or at least that’s how it appears cause they aren’t on all of them

[@loulou4148]

Yep those are added painted yellow where a fatality happened, but only after a fatality apparently. Well according to the Copper on the Speeding Course i had to attend 🤦

[@malice6081]

I've gone over them at higheay speeds cause the forester's tire went flat. They are so loud and jarring vibrating you.

[@georgestone1485]

It is an accident until it is determined that it is NOT. A description is only an assumption until it is proven through investigation. A cop comes up on an car crash, since there is no written description, they have to investigate using complex data. It is a simple as not wearing a seat belt to the car or truck having a mechanical failure. Or driving at exccessive speed, losing control.

[@millieo7155]

Don’t lift/move the head. Try to keep it still. Moving the head can cause further injury to the spine.

[@googlefashists4986]

Alcohol + speed = disaster

[@zarahalora7567]

just wondering but is there such thing as breaks failure or when your breaks peddle wont work so your car cant slow down?

[@shorttongue]

Yes it can happen, and they usually have runaway truck ramps that are steep driveways full of sand or gravel to help big rigs come to a stop

[@faithcody3623]

Yeah that can happen, and while there are some areas set up for big trucks to slow down they aren’t everywhere and so accidents still happen a lot with trucks but it also happens in smaller cars

[@lindastoeckel2729]

It’s illegal not to wear a seatbelt in Australia, I thought that was the case in the USA as well.

Sorry Sir but I am a witness to someone putting his fist through the driver side window of a car when the driver was trying to run over his family member. It can be done!

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

Terri Pierce Impossible with a bare hand. What year make and model car was this? I had someone trying repeatedly to break my 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser window to hurt me. They had a blunt piece of metal in their hand . Made $2000 of big dents in my doors but did nothing to the glass. You need something very pointed like broken porcelain. Then it is easy to break glass.

[@faithcody3623]

mark pope adrenaline can do some crazy things when your family members are in danger, I mean there have been women who normal can’t lift more that 50 lbs lift the front ends of cars off the ground to get their child from under it. If you’re running on adrenaline it’s very likely you’d be able to break a side window of a vehicle

17:03. - OK one I thought that if any person involved had a blood alcohol over the legal limit they were automatically at fault legally and two it kind of doesn’t matter how fast he was going he had a red light..... am I wrong on both of these points???? Or are they just dragging it out for dramatic purposes here???? Lol 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[@nighthawkf1174]

no. They may automatically be illegal, but they are NOT automatically at fault for the accident. also yes it VERY much matters his speed. the supposition being if he was going the speed limit instead of 70mph, its possible the turning car is able to either clear the intersection normally, or react to clear or LESSEN the accident and possibly survive.

[@lkop09nowbterp]

No. That is not true. At least in most states. Whoever's actions caused the collision is the at fault driver. I've seen it so many times, the impaired driver (although they should not have been driving) was not the cause of the collision and was therefore not at fault. The old addage "they shouldnt have been driving in the first place since they were drunk", although true, is not used to determine "at fault" status. Maybe it should be, but it's not. There is usually always a traffic violation committed that is the cause of the collision, and sometimes it is not committed by the drunk driver.

(U do no that trucks cannot stop as quickly as a car right)and then they take them to court and demand payment....obviously this isn’t what happened here but it is what happens for many other truckers.... why When a crash happens with a truck and a car/many cars does the truck driver ALWAYS get blamed straight away.... sometimes it is there fault but they r always the ones who people expect to be in the fault
