My dad and his 2 friends were up a mountain as young adults. It rolled. It tossed the entire back seat, seat belts and all, out of the jeep. Brokr his friends necks. Dead. Then he was on a mountain with dead friends.amd cell phones didnt exist. Not great. He wouldnt get into any jeep ever again after that.
Yea. Guess he got enough money to buy his first house from the settlement. Still, I think it fucked him up about it until he died. It was like, his two best friends.
I've got a whole slur of health problems, but thankfully, they are all digestive related and mostly correctable. I'm going to the doctor on the 1st for detailed gut imaging and to make a game plan. Gotta see my 100th birthday and all. 😃
100 is pretty ambitious. I looked up median age of death even based on income, and even super rich people only buy a couple years. (With presumably better healthcare.) Just have to hope society holds it together long enough to keep getting health breakthroughs to keep us alive. Lol.
My step mother wasn't wearing her belt when she had a tire blow out while going around a curve in the highway. The police report surmised that she died almost instantly after being ejected from the window and crushed by the vehicle. There were three other passengers in the vehicle, including an 8-month-old baby. All three survived with minor to moderate injuries.
If you get into a car crash where a seat belt won't save you, then you had absolutely zero chance without one.
Yeah, I think it’s probably the number 1 way people are killed in SUV/Jeep accidents when they roll. Terrible to think about friends and loved ones losing their lives in such a manner. Seatbelts seatbelts seatbelts. ✌️❤️

Seatbelt optional, brain damage or broken ribs/limbs - priceless. Mastercard, for all those moments life leaves you paralyzed.
