When Seat Belts Injure

[@csis473]

Seat belts increase injuries because they reduce deaths

[@xanaxity]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@fizkallnyeilsem]

Id rather take the injury than total deletion then

[@rappsongs]

That’s an excellent way to look at it

[@andyharris3084]

Exactly. This is the thing dumb people don’t understand. Seat belts and air bags are not to prevent injury, they are there to prevent fatalities. It is quite common for people to break collar bones from seat belts or get a broken nose from an air bag BUT they are alive to tell the tale. Without these devices, the chance of death increase dramatically.

[@MissyBeeeee]

The introduction of helmets for soldiers increased head injuries haha.

I'm old enough to remember when cars only had lap belts. I imagine internal injuries were more common back then.

(sorry if the writing's a bit wonky, english isn't my first language) my father was in a pretty bad car crash back in 2010, it was my sister's 10th birthday and i was 7. car caught on fire and was left pretty much unrecognizable by the end of it, everything had to be scrapped. i still remember the very large red streak he had on the left side of his chest from the seatbelt. i remember it taking so long to go away. fortunately no one involved suffered lasting injuries from the accident but sometimes i catch myself thinking what could've happened if he wasn't wearing his seatbelt. i'd much rather see the scar it left on his chest now, 14 years later, than have to live the rest of my life without him. wear your seatbelts, everyone.

Noooo, but you're really right though. From the the heart disease video, the mirco plastics one to even the brain damage and UV videos. They all quietly occupied the back of my mind. Occasionally popping in my head to make me think about things and sometimes (thou rare because I'm stubborn) makes me sway my decisions on things. I'm definitely now going to pay more attention to how I wear my seatbelt as well as how my family and my younger family wear them from now on

[@rickwoofs]

Guys, he's not telling you to stop wearing your seatbelt. He's only pointing out the facts that get lost in the conversation about safety; which is that our safety measures can still harm us. They still need improving, and wearing a seatbelt doesn't guarantee your safety. He's just highlighting the things we usually don't think or talk about when it comes to vehicular safety

Obviously seatbelts can injure you but that’s not the point. They prevent worse injuries and also save your life. You should always wear one in a vehicle.

[@brookedoesstuff]

This is the best thing to take away from this video, and should have been talked about more. Not wearing your seatbelt is most likely gonna kill you in a serious crash. Wearing your seatbelt INCORRECTLY is gonna give you debilitating injuries. Wearing your seatbelt CORRECTLY is going to give you recoverable injuries. Seatbelts aren't a magic solution to stop all injuries in a crash; it will greatly increase your chances of living and your chances of non-life threatening injuries in a car crash.

[@TobiasHinz1992]

A seatbelt together with an airbag saved my life. Ill never understand why people drive without using them.

[@DaveLikesLimes]

One of the reasons why you should always go pee before getting in the car is that if your bladder happens to be very full at the time of a collision, the lap belt can rupture it and send urine spilling out into your pelvic and abdominal cavities.

[@sonicrose8430]

You really could’ve just kept that to yourself instead of giving all of us that image

[@vasoconvict]

Dark Science, I am very grateful for your channel. It's very entertaining to hear about topics that most people are scared to talk about. I am also sure that your carbon monoxide poisoning video has helped me survive till today. Yesterday we had a gas leak in my grandparent's apartment because our old stove wick broke, and I know damn well that we could all die if we fell asleep(11 pm). I told them to call the emergency services @ the gas company and they fixed it. The video helped me understand what would happen if we just left it be and let it smell like gas. Thank you a lot

[@JeremyBell]

Although a gas leak is dangerous and an emergency, I don't think that's what carbon monoxide is. Carbon monoxide is odorless and more from incomplete combustion. You need a carbon monoxide detector. You won't be able to detect it with your nose.

[@SarahLovesBoobahandErEr]

This may sound stupid but why don’t they make the lap belt wider? Would it be better if the seatbelt covered most of the abdomen or would it create TOO much compression? It would look and feel ridiculous but could it potentially save lives…? Someone smart please tell me if this would work.

She would have been extra dead without the seat belt tho. Rip to her and her baby

[@Moon_x_sun]

In my school we had a woman over. She was in a wheel chair. She talked about how the reason she was in a wheelchair now is because she wasn’t wearing a seatbelt. Her and her friend was on a short drive to just get something when the car crashes (I don’t remember how) and she was shot out the car and broke her back. Her friend who was wearing her seatbelt only got a sprained ancle. -- Also I saw someone who is like a fat woman who showed how to wear a seatbelt correctly especially if you’re fat. To avoid specifically theese sort of injuries.

Seriously, no issue of whiplash when the neck bends forward rapidly to the point that the spine breaks as the seatbelt locks into place? This is why airbags were invented to cushion the face upon impact. That is why sometimes crash victims wearing seatbets have no chest nor abdominal injuries but are paralyzed neck down

Seatbelt design seems pretty crude when you think about it. it's just a flat narrow strap that can be twisted and can slip from the intended position with ease. Given the force they apply on the body, they should have a larger surface area and have more than a single anchor point. But I guess a redesign won't happen because people are stupid and "only nerds care about lame stuff such as safety".

[@losthighway53]

I have extensive training operating various vehicles being not only a CDL holder but also various professional services (LE/EMS). When I was taught to drive I was taught the triangle of death. Top of the triangle, cranial deceleration injuries (brain bleed), because of where the shoulder belt sits, a snapped clavicle can puncture the aorta causing you to bleed out internally. Lap Belts are usually safer because of the speed and force needed at impact to cause injury or abdominal laceration are crazy high. You actually learn how to drive and pay attention to what's around you (classes are out there) you'll see it all starts on how you position yourself in the seat. Seated appropriately, upright, left foot braced against the footwelll adjacent to the bottom of the a-pillar, right heel down between the pedals so yer foot doesn't leave the floor when driving you don't need belts.
