I, too, had a bad crackup way back in '72 while on the way to Fairly
Ridiculous U. in Hackensack.  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....
