Seating and safety restraints Reasons given...Belts wrinkle my clothes" Consider...Possibly, but a serious crash can do much more than wrinkle your clothes, particularly if you are unbelted. Set the example, teen deaths occur 4 times more often in vehicles with TWO or MORE people. Children and younger brothers/sisters imitate behavior they see. Air bags offer greater protection when used with safety belts. Frontal airbags are not designed to inflate in rear and side crashes or rollovers. Not a good idea, people who are ejected are 40 times more likely to DIE. Safety belts help prevent ejection. WE CAN'T PICK OUR CRASH". The people I'm with don't wear belts" I have an air bag" I'd rather be thrown clear" 111
