WEAR THE GEAR
In places where seat belt use is mandatory and places where they are not the risks are still the same
The law only provides the penalty for not wearing the seatbelt. They don’t talk about the brain damage or body injuries to the people or the long recovery periods in hospital because not every one dies when they have a accident, most are brain damaged or wheel chair bound for life or wear a diaper for ever because they have no control over there body bowel movements, most have to be fed by someone else like a small child, or a lot cannot remember today or tomorrow because there memory has been damaged beyond repair, they live in homes or with there aging parents because there is no place for them
Or the little babies who were skinned like grapes because they fly under the car seats or get projected like tiny missiles out the window. The grief on family faces when the police come to tell the families of the accident or death notice
Yes I’ve seen a few, but the ones that stand out are the 343 deaths, deaths that could have been prevented from wearing the seat belt THAT MEANS EVERYONE IN THE VEHICLE NOT JUST THE DRIVER
Seat belts do save lives so does slowing down and obeying the speed limit
As safety professional we are like the choir preaching to the minister or brownman,(holly man) we have seen the page we have wrote the manuals, but have you ever smelt the smell of blood from a lot of blood especially an artery it smells like rust, or seen the look in the eyes of a loved one when you say sorry so and so is not coming home to day, or held a dying man or woman hand before passing at the side of the road before there passing, or stood waiting helplessly for additional emergency crews to arrive on scene to dig and tear the people out of the car wreck, or heard the helpless screams and tears of trapped people in a car wreck, or seen a whole body reversed or twisted into a human ball of jello, all because they didn’t wear a seat belt, I have.
So what does it take, it takes courage to remind, tell, report a friend for not wearing a seatbelt, it is way better to talk at the person than to talk about them
I haven’t had much luck posting videos on the web site, but Dipi has about ten of my best if would like to see them, play them to your friends or company workers, all law enforcement agencies have poster and websites that offer education and guidance on seat belt use, if you need the materials or address just email me and or Dipi and I will be happy to share the address and poster that I have they are well over 2500 different ones and comments
