Maybe ten - year - old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead.”
Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt - the mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why.
There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in ears some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.
Myth Number One: It’s best to be “thrown clear” of serious accidents.
Truth:sorry, but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you’ll have traveled through a windshield or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a ear accident are twenty - five times greater in cases where people are“thrown clear”.
Myth Number Two: Safety belts “trap” people in ears that are burning or sinking in water.
Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to trapped in them.
Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren’t necessary at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).
Truth: When two ears traveled at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to driving headfirst into the ground from the height of 100 meters.
