Re: Shock news. US drivers actually use safety belts?
Modern cars are designed with those really thick pillars to keep the roof in place. The occupants wear seatbelts and airbags fly out from all around, including in the back.
I've witnessed rollover accidents where people just stepped out shocked by mostly uninjured.
There was one I saw one night that was so frightening I was afraid to look inside the car, but I did and encountered a smiling driver!
