Shame they couldn't 'rescue' her wonky eyes  :'(

Still, if she'd taken 2 seconds to put her seatbelt on... yadda yadda yadda....

Heck, we can't even get a US State Governor and state trooper to NOT speed, and PUT their seat belts on.......

New Jersey governor Corzine wouldn't be tooling around in a wheel chair right now.....

If it's all because she didn't put her seatbelt on, she won't get any sympathy from me.

That is bizarre...  :o !!!

I still haven't found the part of the article where it says she didn't have her seatbelt on... they do sometimes  fail to prevent injuries like this sometimes, you know.
We have no idea how bad an impact it was: if the car's structure was compromised, or the seat came loose... or if the belt's inertia reel slipped a tooth... I wouldn't assume she was not buckled up.
 Better to have it on, of course, but it's not magical.  ;) People die in car wrecks when buckled up on a regular basis.


And I don't think this is a landmark case in the development of head transplant procedures, Alex... remember; her spinal cord itself was not severed.  That makes all the difference. ;)

At any rate, that sounds nasty, and  she must be pretty tough to have survived. I wish her luck. :)

;D


retard.... Wearing a seat belt saved my sisters' life


Also, spitfire boy, nothing is necessarily 'not feasable'.  Take the home computer, for instance.  In the early 90's it was predicted to be the size of a full keyboard.  It may be years, or centuries, perhaps, but it is unlikely the something like that will not be acheived, to whatever degree of success.  I do agree, though, take care of your body, of die ;)

Nowhere in the article does it say anything about her not wearing a seatbelt.  But either way shes lucky to be alive.

As for the whole seat belts save lives.  Sometimes thats not always the case.  They just passed a new law here in Indiana that requires all drivers to wear them...up till now anyone in a pickup truck and some SUVs did not have to buckle up.  Yet it is still illegal for a cop to pull you over just to check, as its always been.  Also officially banned police seatbelt check points which were common but also illegal.  But a few months ago a seatbelt would have actually killed my cousin or put him near death.  The wreck was his own stupidity out hot rodding on a curvy country road.  Went to fast around a curve and lost control wiping out a utility pole and a stop sign, rolled the truck 5 times.  He was thrown out before it hit the pole, as a volunteer firefighter I was called to the accident.  By the look of the truck had he not been thrown he probably wouldn't have walked away...ever.  Cab was completely crushed in with no room to even stick your hand between the seat and the roof.  He managed to get away with only a few bruises.  But had a seatbelt restrained him :-/

Plenty of people get killed with or without a seatbelt on.  Yet they are made to sound like they will save every single life in a crash.
