Happy 50th to the seatbelt
Thursday, 13 August 2009 14:34It's the 50th anniversary of the invention of the seatbelt today. The seatbelt, from a statistical point of view, is by far the biggest safety innovation in cars. The second-biggest, by the way, is electronic stability control, and third-biggest is airbags. ABS doesn't save lives, statistically speaking.
( The modest seatbelt celebrates 50 years of lifesaving today )
Amazing how many people are still too ignorant to wear seatbelts, or worse, don't buckle up their kids.
