I ran off the road and the car not only spun around but flipped over and landed on the driver's side. My seatbelts were on. If the hadn't been, I probably wouldn't have been able to type this response. And, to those worried about getting their belts off, CARRY A F***ING KNIFE!! I have a knife attached to the front of my seat (driver's side). It's in a small canvas bag with one of those nautical boat-type snaps on it. The bag is sown to the seat. If I crack up (which I hope NEVER to to again) and can't get the belt off, there's a knife available.... The knife is one of those cheap locking kind you get for 2.99 out of a magazine or a cheap tool sale at a motel.... Burt Janz
