I've been thinking recently... Why should wearing a seatbelt be necessarily safer? Maybe statistically it's safer but I really don't want to burn in a car because the damn thing doesn't want to un-click. Or if I have to choose between flying out of the car and forcing my organs to decelerate from 120 to 0 within 10-20 cm I'd totally pick flying out of the car. Not to mention all those crazy situations where you may get the idea to just jump out of a car before it falls in an abyss...
What are the odds? Small. Statistically, for the whole population, it is better to use seatbelts. But I cannot perceive myself as part of the statistics.
On the other hand, I really feel uncomfortable in a car without having my seatbelt on. I hate taxis in Bulgaria because of this.
I read somewhere an article that was claiming that safety features of cars actually produce a moral hazard - you know you are less likely to die so you drive less safely. The author was proposing that by removing all safety features from cars the death rate on roads would fall considerably. And I was thinking how Bulgaria is a perfect example that he is WRONG. :)
