Think! Always wear a seatbelt!

I do anyway, but even if I didn't, I think I would after seeing this!

I contest this.

Even if wearing a seatbelt then the same forces will be in effect against your body and internal organs, the only difference being that they will mush themselves against the line of the seatbelt rather than against the shape of the steering wheel or airbag.

Sheer bollocks if you ask me and meant to scare and awe people who don't think about what is said properly (no offence

).

I may just be sceptical due to being invincible though

I did think that when I saw it today but forgot about that point

Well inertia isn't negated by a thin strip of reinforced material

I reckon it's Sod's Law.

If you don't wear a seatbelt then Sod decides to make your organs carry on. Whereas if you wore a seatbelt, then Sod will let you off and make your organs stay with you.

I agree with this, but it's not the premise of the advert, which therefore negates that argument in relation to the argument in question

Road adverts are all crap. Apart from "Asshole" by Dennis Leary.

All the reinforcement I need for wearing a seatbelt is seen in racing. Granted they were an advanced version of one, but they are doing advanced forms of driving.

If the pros use them, I certainly am not one to argue...
