He is disabled with an old age skeletal condition and if he puts it the "normal" way it actually sits over his eye and down across his face. <br />We will have to see what we can do because the "normal" way and the way his skeleton is warped and twisted, is as dangerous with how the belt runs.Vetnursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03540531837941930258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190524197374045099.post-89168204664856170142009-05-29T14:34:47.414-07:002009-05-29T14:34:47.414-07:00Somewhere in a previous post I mentioned that my d...Somewhere in a previous post I mentioned that my department policy requires seatbelt use.Officer "Smith"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16053602205443157704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190524197374045099.post-10012893870120777492009-05-29T09:31:01.775-07:002009-05-29T09:31:01.775-07:00Seat Belts Save Lives.

I remember it seeming to just plop out of the steering wheel, never really expanding.<br /><br />Luckily, I was wearing my seatbelt properly and avoided any serious injury. I walked out of that wreck with chemical burns on my arms from the airbag, and a nicely bruised collar bone.

You just can't win sometimes.<br /><br />But seatbelts definitely save lives, including the lives of countless police officers every year.

It saved mine when that drunk driver hit me head on at over 70mph. Without that seatbelt, I would have been ejected and the paramedics would have been picking me off the asphalt in pieces. Just like they had to do to the drunk driver who was NOT wearing his seatbelt and who was found scattered in pieces down the interstate. <br /><br />Seatbelts save lives.Front Porch Societyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03515383787374168157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190524197374045099.post-53702161907787720462009-05-28T05:47:39.908-07:002009-05-28T05:47:39.908-07:00My boys try the behind the back trick.

We then proceed to lecture them on how if we were in an accident they would actually be thrown forward and seriously hurt or killed. We have the hardest time with my stepson because, apparently, his bm (biological mother) allows this behavior.<br /><br />Good for you for citing them! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
