    All I can say is let them die. If they are dumb enough to use something stupid like this, they deserve to not survive a crash.

      If you don’t use a seatbelt, a crash can turn your body into a projectile and kill someone else, so it’s not just “let the dumbasses die” scenario.

      Or so I heard on the internet. Sounds like it’s probably a thing, though no idea how common it is.

        I’d like to see any real world statistic where that’s more of a problem that it seems like. Not saying it doesn’t happen, probably does. Just not as big of a thing as you may be thinking

          How many people should we allow to die by the stupidity of others before something is done about it? What’s the negotiable cost of human life for self serving idiocy?

            I’m not saying we should let others die (specifically from a person not wearing a seatbelt being ejected and killing someone else from the specific action of being thrown from the car landing on another), I’m just asking to see evidence to tell if it’s a real problem like you say it is.

            I tried searching for any stats of this thing happening and I can’t find anything in the US specifically involving a person that is hurled from a vehicle killing a bystander.

            The likely hood of this scenario is so low it could be literally non existent. So low that it could even be something stupid like someone’s seatbelt even breaks during a crash causing the same event (thinking randomly with no proof whatsoever).

            Again im not saying anyone’s wrong or condemning bystanders to death but it sounds like something that really doesn’t happen like everyone responding to my top comment is making it out to be.

      The problem is when they crash they are throw from the seat and no longer in control of a 2ton missle. Though, thats implying they were ever in control to begin with.
