In Reply to: O/T seat belt violation 2 in 2 months. posted by X22 on July 13, 2008 at 18:36:10:

Done been a fireman and EMS for thirty plus years, and sorry I have no mercy for you and your problem. Kinda harsh and bold I realize, but you can put a gun to your head and live also, but 90% plus the results are bad. Ain't no way I go anywhere without a belt.

That being said I kinda wonder if you get a disabaling accident from no belt, no helmet, or no life jacket--who pays the bills --we the tax payer. Anyone who thinks that big insurance policy will keep them happy is probably in for a big surprise. And you spouce will probably be spoon feeding you so that income will probably stop as well.

If we don't have the sence to wear belts, then our government will have to think for us. And yea one time this one guy was wearing a belt and........ Don't cut no crap with me, nor any fireman with a few years under their belt. Seat belts do save lives a majority of the time.

I have what I call a best friend that used to argue about our government can't tell him what to do. Approx three years ago his motorcyle at approx 30 mph.... and a little misjudgment, when driving into the sun. Anyone care for his phone number? I beg anyone to try and carry on a conversation with him now, and he thinks he is getting better--often doesn't know his middle name.

All this reminds me of telling a small child that the stove is hot, yet untill they burn their fingers, well.... you know.

I apologizezzz for myself, but we spend alot of time helping folks who just don't realize what can happen, and if you are a driving in NEIA and you get in a accident without a belt, I will indeed try my best to help you anyway because maybe you just don't realize.

And then if you look me over, fried food has taken my gut over, and I'm not smart enough to slow down on the eating, so I will judge no one.

Wish I was smart enough to shut up, but will add this to my rant. Close to thirty five years ago a EMS instructor closed his lessons with this. If you learned nothing else tonight I want everyone to take a walk into a junk yard and check out the stars in the windshilds. And think of the angle the head and neck that put the star into the windshild was at. The top of your head hits first, and your chin keeps up the 55 mph speed. This in turn snaps your neck backwards. That was before belts were required in Iowa. Since the seat belt law, you don't see very many stars in the windshilds, and often the person in the accident gets to go check out their vehickle with out a wheelchair.

Anytime we find someone away from the vehickle, we get a gut feeling on what the person is going to look like. And if anyone doubts my smart a$$ remarks, just volenteer to ride along to auto accidents and look for yourself.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
