Do you wear a seat belt?

Here is why I ask if you wear a seat belt.

I am a fire person trained to deal with emergency first aid such as car accidents.

Yesterday we were out on the Harley for our first ride this spring.
On our way home after a 150 mile ride we came across a car in the ditch.
It had done endos of the highway and thrown the young girl from her car some thirty feet away.

It must have just happened as she still had a pulse.

We worked on her for 20 minutes before the ambulance and rescue team came.

When the ambulance driver saw her he told me to stop that her neck was broken and part of the top of her head was missing.

With my adrenalin running and my only goal to keep her alive till the pro's showed up I didn't notice the top of her head at all.

She died

She was not wearing a seat belt

She left behind a 4 yr old daughter

I am not going to preach however, seat belts are life savers.
