UNBELTED Passenger in Frontal Car Crash

IIHS frontal crash test with an unbelted rear-seat passenger
Adults have gotten the message that it’s safer for kids to ride in the back seat properly restrained, but when it comes to their own safety, there is a common misperception that buckling up is optional. Among adults who admit to not always using safety belts in the back seat, 4 out of 5 surveyed by the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) say short trips or traveling by taxi or ride-hailing service are times they don’t bother to use the belt.

It's interesting, some years ago I would take a friend of mine to work a couple times out of the year and he would always ride in the back seat and never wear his seat belt even though I insisted that he did. He asked me why it mattered once when it's his life in danger, and I told him if we crash I don't want him killing me by flying into me. Would have been nice at the time to have a video like this showing exactly how that happens.

[@andrewburgemeister6684]

I would have refused to start moving until all the occupants were buckled up, I’m not risking someone whose a pinball seriously injuring or killing the rest of us.

Definitely a wake-up call. I drive for Uber. I tell people to please put on their seat belts but never check to see if they do. I do listen for the click. But definitely will pay attention, especially to the person sitting behind me. Because people are money hungry. They will sue you for wrecking. But if I get hurt because you aren't wearing your seatbelt? You better believe I'm coming after you with a lawsuit. I have a camera so it is all recorded.

A lot of accidents actually happen pretty close to home or to a destination you’re going to on a road trip, people just don’t understand the risks when they say “Oh, I’m just ducking down to the shops” or “We’re nearly there” when they’ve been driving for more than 2 hours without taking a 15-minute break. Have a break every two hours and wear your goddamn seatbelts!

My first love died in 1980, aged just sweet 16, when she was on the back seat in a 70mph car crash here in the UK. There were no seat belts fitted. I wasn't with her that day 😔 It wasn't mandatory in the UK for rear seat belts to be worn until 1991!

[@andrewburgemeister6684]

There's still some states in the US that don't require rear seatbelt usage for passengers over 16, 17, or 18, these are Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia which I don't know whether to be shocked by or amazed at. Some of these states only have secondary enforcement which means cops can't pull you over and fine you for the seatbelt violation alone unless you had another enforcement issue such as a broken taillight or speeding. The state of New Hampshire is the only US state where adults aged over 17 are not required to wear seatbelts regardless of seating position.

There's an easier way to convince a kid to wear a seatbelt (make sure you do it on an empty road, like a back street or an empty parking lot) Accelerate up to about 15-20kph, then when the kid is distracted slam the brakes as hard as you can, he'll probably go flying forward into the seat infront, and from that day onward, the seatbelt will be the first thing he goes for when he gets into the car It worked on me when I was a kid, my dad did that to me when I was 8, and it's been an unbreakable habit ever since

I was in a car crash without a seatbelt once. I was in the back seat and we were traveling in a Toyota 2003 solora going 60mph(speed limit) in the country side at 10pm when guy in an F150 ford didn't see us and decided to make a quick left turn to come onto the highway and we hit the front left side of his truck where the tire and bumper are. Everything went in slow motion and i even wondered if i was gonna die and thinking about my mother and little brother and how they would feel about us leaving at such a bad time, i even thought about what it would be like to wake up in my spirit after death, while thinking of this i also had thought about needing to protect my head from being bumped around since its the most important of the body and i held my head with my hands and cushioned the blows i got to the side of my head; i had been jolted up about a foot from my seat and then rocked to the left hitting the side plastic where the small window meets and then jolted to the right; After that i saw how my brother and cousin in the front seats where aching and i was in fact the only one without any hard hurt surprisingly, we were all fine but they had headaches, i only had a streak of light in the way of my eyesight which was scary but only lasted about 10 minutes. Anyway thats what happened that day. Its long but for anyone who reads it ,its educational.
