Nope, it doesn't.
The chances of that happening are so astronomically low as to be completely irrelevant, and it doesn't hold a candle to the violation of personal liberty.
?????? Astronomically low? Even a crash at 10 to 20 Km/h can turn you into a meat projectile, dumbass
Then it should be suuuper easy to find evidence of a fatality due to a human projectile from a car accident if this is such a huge concern.
I'll wait. Don't worry, I'm patient.
Edit: I wonder how many of you are on the case now. Good luck! I'd hate for all of your pearl clutching to be for naught!
Edit 2: Almost an hour in! Man, it's really starting to look like this is actually just a non-issue, and an excuse to (literally) police other people's behavior and choices that you don't like!
Edit 3: Six hours later, and still looking like a non-issue!
Edit 4: it's been fifteen hours - I think I'm going to call it here. The "human missile" myth clearly has no basis in fact, and is no reason to mandate seatbelt use.
I'm not going to gore websites for your pleasure, but liveleaks used to be a gold mine for you apparently
This is a proven fact. If you want to ve a complete moron, then you're no better than a flat earther or an antivaxxer, in which case fuck you and I'm not going to waste my time on you
So... still no evidence whatsoever for that "proven fact", then, eh?
The difference is that flat earthers are presented with evidence that they're ignoring, but nobody has presented any evidence in this thread for me to ignore, even though this is supposedly such a huge problem.
