Yesterday the thread and postings wandered toward political statements with regards to seat belts and the thread was closed. I think the topic if addressed properly would be importment to all viewers.
I owned a ambulance service and still own a speciality co. that cares for the needs of those who unfortunately suffered a spinal cord injury and are now using wheelchairs. While I can not say that every accident we responded to, seat belts would have prevented a spinal cord injury, the fact is the large majority were saved from becoming a para or quad.
I am not going to convince everyone that seat belts are something that you should be using. I can honestly tell you that a large number of our clients wished they had their seat belts on!
