I'm not sure but if a person prefers to be more severely injured in the event of an accident rather than uncomfortable all the times they are not in an accident

I'm not sure but if a person prefers to be more severely injured in the event of an accident rather than uncomfortable all the times they are not in an accident then it's an appropriate choice for them. I don't feel it's my place or any other third party to make these choices for adults.

I mean, why on earth would an ambulance attend a person who's seriously injured because they exercised their right to be comfortable when the ambulance could be attending someone who actually took some responsibility for his own safety and considers the well-being of the community at large. Not that I'm this much of a bastard, but for those of us that have faith-based issues around community-provided health services.
- rubinelli 15y agoLet's put aside the "who's paying for the ER" argument. A driver that loses control of the car trying to brace oneself or restrain a passenger that isn't wearing a seat belt can increase the severity of an accident for other people, too. A car crash victim that falls on to the street suddenly becomes a hazard to other vehicles, too.
