shovelbum posted:Yeah, a full size European sedan, I'll get right on that lol. Is "sedan" not the right word in US english? A "normal" 5-seater car, 4000-5000 mm in length is what I'm talking about. A car like a Ford Focus coupe from 2004 can fit a loving amazingy safe rear facing child seat. https://www.britax-roemer.co.uk/fitfinder is one of the places you can visit to stop worrying and learn to love the rear. E: Page 10 in this report is a good place to go when chosing what seat to use. It's from one of Swedens largest insurance companies, but that page is basically "count the green dots, more green=more good". Potrzebie fucked around with this message at 07:51 on Sep 20, 2018 |

There's actually been two bus accidents in my region this month, in both cases the driver fainted in the middle of a highway. Six people died in the first one, but luckily a passenger was able to stop the bus in that second one. It was the same bus company actually, which makes you wonder how hard they're overworking their drivers. Anyway the point is don't feel safe just cause you're in a bus. Wear a seatbelt.

Whatev posted:You don't need to bring money into it. A moron passenger not wearing a seatbelt can be flung around the car by the force of a crash and kill non-moron passengers. The energy that rockets dummies out the windshield into the great unknown can easily be redirected into crashing their stupid skull into your less stupid skull, killing you both very badly. You don't even need to bring safety into it. The feeling of complete human superiority that comes from telling an idiot to do the most simple and obvious thing to preserve their own stupid, shallow, muddling haze of an existence is reward enough in itself.

Planes do and people bang their head into the ceiling. I guess they figure if the train derails you're hosed anyway and if it doesn't derail it won't stop that suddenly.

You’re dead. In a plane. A derail won’t stop suddenly? Or hitting another train from the back or front? E train safety from collisions to armed attacks has been ignored.

Has anybody had the hot take that pointless deaths are actually good because humans are garbage? Because that's a bad take and humans are cool, and so are seatbelts.

I can't think of a time where I chose not to/didn't want to wear a seat belt. I get into the car and put it on before thinking about anything else, it surprises me when I drive with people who might be halfway down a major highway and suddenly go 'oh haha let me just put this on' (especially when it's the driver and they take their hands off the wheel for a few seconds to put it on  )

Burt Sexual posted:I case of a water landing please use the seat cushion. Cracks me up. You’re dead. In a plane. Actually water is a reasonable surface to make a semi-controlled soft crash landing on, and after that you're going to want some kind of flotation device. There have been a number of real-life emergency landings on water where many/most/all passengers have survived. Edit: This https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_Am_Flight_526A seems to be the ancestral case. TLDR: It was 1952, a plane failed and landed in water, 3/4 of the passengers died because there were no established evacuation routines or flotation crap so they just stayed put and drowned.

Is not wearing searbelts a baby boomer thing? It's always been an automatic thing for people I know, even for the people I know who regularly drink and drive. Or maybe it's a regional thing? I wonder if it's an economic/educational thing becuase I grew up in a poor uneducated town in California but people still wore seatbelts.

If you don't wear a seatbelt and ride with other people know you are endangering their lives too. My wife used to work in auto claims and heard a story about a guy who was in the back seat and ended up decapitating his wife while going through the windshield.
