I crashed a truck into a hillside a few years back. I came out unscathed, except for a small amount of bruising from the seatbelt. It was a hard enough crash that it ruined my phone, and my glasses flew off my head.
If I wasn't wearing a seatbelt, my head most certainly would've connected with the windscreen or the steering wheel, likely giving me a broken nose or jaw.
Which brings me to another safety tip, don't have unsecured items sitting in the back of your car. Because if you crash, they literally become missiles.
- mod 9y agoI tboned another vehicle once going about 45mph, without my seatbelt on. My head did impact the windshield, and that left me with a knot on my head, and a small cut. I also had a small cut on my knee from something under the steering wheel. I was otherwise unharmed. I, of course, think it's imperative to wear your seatbelt, but our anecdotes don't really do much to tell that story.
