Tell me where you can draw the line on this broad statement?

well, it's like at home, i know how fragile and gullible my wife is, and i know there's people that would use her and take advantage of her so i tell her to stay in the kitchen. it's for her own good

here's me explaining it to her in a way that she would understand. and she gets it,.................. she always does

What? There is nothing about this post that makes an ounce of sense. Are we talking about cars or bikes here? If bikes, perhaps you could tell me how a helmet on my head protect others? If cars, lets address some issues with your theory.

1. Windshields are designed to keep you inside the car in a collision. It would be very, very difficult, if not impossible, to be ejected through a properly installed windshield with enough velocity to be considered a dangerous projectile in a collision. If the windshield wasn't installed properly, it is possible for a human body to blow the WHOLE windshield out of the car, but that would be mechanical failure.

2. To be ejected from a vehicle in an accident in it most often through a side window. This is almost always due to barrel rolling your vehicle. If you were to barrel roll your vehicle, it is usually safer to be ejected anyway, because as long as your car doesn't land on you, there is one impact with the ground, and it is over. Thats a much better option than being stuck inside that washing machine on spin cycle. Thats multiple impacts, as well as the stuff flying around inside the vehicle.

3. If you were to roll your vehicle down the highway, I'd be willing to bet that the 4k lbs. of out of control steel would be the main concern... not the 200 lbs. of soft squishy body that MIGHT be ejected from the vehicle. By that theory, we should make it illegal to travel with a jack, spare tire, any luggage, etc.

4. A motorcycle accident will always result in 2, maybe 3, projectiles (bike and bodies). If bodies are such a big danger to others in an accident, why are motorcycles even allowed on the road?

I will say that seat belts do keep you in place, so you can better control your vehicle. However, in this country, we have speed limits that are set for a safe traveling speed for the road. If you are obeying all laws, you aren't feeling enough inertia to be thrown out of your seat, anyway. If you need to make an emergency maneuver, you could be thrown from your seat, but at that point, you are pushing the limits of your vehicle's capabilities, so anything is possible anyway. You could swerve to miss a kid chasing a ball, roll your vehicle, and be thrown from the vehicle saving your life from the jack handle flying around the cab.
We have a genius! "It is usually safer to be ejected..." Really? To get throw out of a car is safer? And windshield is designed to keep "you" in the vehicle? Why it's called windshield? Is it suppose to shield wind from hitting your face, or any other object outside the car like bugs, rocks using your face as target practice? Yes, you got it, partially, though. Seat belt keeps you in place, but not so you can better control your vehicle, silly! It keep you in your seat, as well as the passengers in their seats.

Hey, what do you do for a living, buddy? Since you are an expert on the topic, I'll leave you to wallow in your own awesomeness. Why don't you read a little while you do.

I bet if you asked, that guy would tell you that he wishes his vehicle equiped with a seatbelt like the other girl car!

He was on a bike with a helmet. his head was quite squishy too.
 
Crashing a motorcycle with out a helmet or other protective gear affects a LOT more than just the motorcyclist.

It takes a LOT more time and effort from the emergency response team, the overall medical costs for the rider cause increases in EVERYONE'S health and vehicle insurance, the costs to the family with more time off of work or loss of life are also rather substantial.


I have ridden well over 200,000 miles on a motor cycle, and have not yet ridden 1 without a helmet, there is not a helmet law where I live either. That is my choice. Riding a motorcyle in the first place is also my choice. Sure I would be safer in a car, so would have this guy. I have to die from something and I choose to not die of boredom, but I also choose to not put my family though a death so easily prevented. Again my choice.

This world is grossly over populated. Loosing a few ding-a-lings is probably good for the over all population. The rider knew his risks and chose accordingly. His family however did not get a chance to choose. I feel no sympathy for the fallen rider, but for his family....I cry and I hope they can make peace with the selfish choice the rider made.
 
right above u is a post about a guy with a helmet that went splat....

john is a big boy so i'm not coming to his defense but please explain to me what anyone's job has to do with a debate in which both sides are suppose to show facts, stats, research etc etc to prove their side? Why don't we start questioning people's knowledge of fish keeping based on their profession too now while we're at it.
