At one time, I didnt wear seatbelts either for the same reason.  In fact,
I had a relative who sustained a serious injury because he wore them. But,
at some point, I was shown statistics that appeared to be reliable,
(i.e. they were sponsored by both a government agency and a comsumer
interest group), and correct.  I cant remember where they appeared, but
logic says I have the best odds if I follow 'reliable' statistics.

While on the subject, did anyone see the news Thusday night where a court
reduced the payment received by a crash victim from approx. $1 million to
about $10,000 because no seatbelts were worn. Interesting to say the
least.
