Any good seat belt stories?
 

In 1998 Cigracer 28/38 and the dumba$$ driver walked away from this.(or at least stumbled):D We saw the car before we heard how they were and expected the worst. Thankfully it turned out OK.

last one.

Front end looks okay...Nasty rear-end job! :eek:
What happened?

I'm sure he can embellish more, but they missed a curve at high speed and hit a tree 14' in the air. Spun around and hit a few more, then upside down in a shallow creek.

I am living proof of a seat belt.
When I was 18 I was taking my cousin to church and for some reason I put my seatbelt on. First time
I had done that since I got my license. Good thing I did. A lady crossed over into my lane and we hit head on. My car rolled. I only got cuts and bruises, the lady was not so lucky. She did not survive. I have worn my seat belt from that day on.

Yep, the seat belt saved my life.

The owner of the car had insisted on giving me a ride for quite sometime. I finally gave in. We were headed through a very windy road and he was going WAY too fast. I told him we wouldn't make the turn that was coming if he didn't shut it down. Instead, he replies with, "I just bought Z rated tires" :rolleyes: and floors it INTO the turn. I felt us float off the road into a treeline. Next thing I remember, I was in the hospital surrounded by nurses and doctors. I would have been dead for sure without the belt on.

cigracer-where did this happen?

Grand Lake down the road from Cherokee Yacht Club.

I bet you do too Trout. :D
