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

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.....

I use all the safety equipment available to me in whichever vehicle I drive. My 68 has a lap belt so I use it every time.

Same with work. I use a face shield, hearing protection, gloves, safety glasses, dust masks and a respirator.

Still not sure what point you are trying to make. My point is, if you have it, use it.
