I am curious even though its the law to wear your seat belt and they save lives, I just hate wearing mine in my jeep, i'll wear when I'm offroad but when i'm driving through town on a nice day with the top down and the doors off, I just can't wear my belt, its like it ruins the whole having no doors on experience.

I voted and I said; "seat belts everytime, everywhere and all the time".  Won't move the vehicle without the kids buckled up.  I'm sure that there are some instances that wearing it could f' me up, but I think, in my mind, that those instances don;t even come close the weighing the instances that it'll save mine, or my kids lives.

I wear my seatbelt ALL the time.  I just don't want to be flying through the windshield in an accident.  Or more likely, crumpled up on the hood...  If the doors and top are off, you'd be ejected out the top.  Depending on the speed you'd be doing your superman impression onto the road.  Presumably in shorts and a T-shirt. If the vehicle rolls over, you could be half ejected and end up between the rollbar and the road.  (This happened to a Jeeper in the past few months actually.)

I've also seen some people drive with their left foot on the friggin dash.  :shock: Saw this with a guy TOO!  :shock: :shock:  Some people (I don't necessarly mean anyone here) don't take driving serious enough.  You get the unattentive drivers who are busy doing everything else but driving.  Those are the ones you have to worry about.

The other reason I wear my seat belt is that I don't like the feeling of sliding around in my seat.  It distracts too much from the driving experiance.  It would be like driving a performance car while sitting on your couch.  :lol1:

So stay safe and don't become this guy...  :gimp:

Oh and not married nore do I have kids.  Although I'm not at the bulletproof age anymore either.  :lol:

Just found out that TJRon from JU was killed in a rollover accident a couple days ago.

It was reported that he wasn't wearing his seat belt, and was thrown out of the vehicle.

I don't know for sure, but I have seen pictures and video of him without his belt on while wheeling.


It doesn't make you good or bad in my eyes whether you wear you seat belt, but if you roll, or your rig shifts abrubtly, it can make you dead.



I don't want to lose any of you to something as stupid and tragic as this.



This was a post over at my clubs website. I thought it fit in well here. :(

Always have worn one and always will...especially without doors...I would feel like I was going to fly out every time I turned a corner (and I go doorless all summer).

People were smarter and tougher back then.  They also didn't complain about not having A/C, cruise control and a stereo.  When they got into an accident and flew 50ft into the air they just got back off, dusted themselves and got back in.  :lol:

On the trails I convert my shoulder seat belt to a lap belt using a child's seat belt conversion. Its shaped like a 'I'.

I always put the should belt behind the seat to get it out of the way when wheeling.
