"I was a moron" or "I don't need a seat belt"

I work with collision damaged vehicles every day. I know first hand and have seen the results of use vs non use of safety equipment hundreds of times.

If you have it available but aren't using it, I won't feel bad if you die.

Nothing will sway my opinion on that.
And you have available cars with airbags, and are built much better for collisions. So, EVERY TIME you drive your classic mopar, you are taken the exact same chance as this man that died. You could have taken your "safety equipped" car to the DQ, but you made the CHOICE to drive the car without the safety equipment and supposingly you get killed in a auto accident, you were "just as dumb" in your own words. You BOTH would have made a choice to avoid the safety equipment that was available to you.....
