Stark contrast to the reaction most people had to the invention of seatbelts in cars.

Honestly, they are compared a lot, and while seat belts should be encouraged, I don’t think they should be mandated for adults.

Unlike masks, you’re only going to hurt yourself.

Then again I strongly believe in the right of any adult to end their own life, even if they’re physically healthy, or it’s not their life.

Unlike masks, you’re only going to hurt yourself.

Absolutely wrong. Seatbelts prevent people from turning into projectiles as well, which most definitely can harm other people.

In the event of a crash, a soft gooey human is probably the least likely object that flies out of that car to seriously injure someone else.

Can you point me to a single instance of someone being injured or died because the corpse of another human, and not hard metal, plastic, or glass was launched out of the vehicle and managed to hit them?

Because that seems like a cartoonish outcome of a crash that’s high speed enough to do so. Like one in a billion.

They don’t need to leave the vehicle to hurt someone else. youtu.be/mKHY69AFstE

Fair enough, I concede the point when others are in the car.
