When riding my motorcycle the other day my first thought was “Hey cops! I’m not wearing a seat belt! MUAHAHAHHA!”
Well I do understand what you mean... I have some “dangerous” hobbies as well including motorcycle riding and hang gliding. With all the regulations it sometimes seems amazing that we are allowed to do anything at all.
I still wear a seat belt because I don't want to get a ticket but also because we spend a lot more time in the car than we are on our motorcycle. And despite going to a lot of motorcycle mishaps over the years I have actually seen a lot more dead people who were ejected or partially ejected from their cars. On a motorcycle sensible people have a sense of vulnerability. In their cars... many people feel invincible whether or not their are wearing a safety belt.
On a beautiful summer day not so long ago we showed up to a rollover from a freeway off ramp. When the young lady swerved to avoid bumping into the car in front of her... she ended up in the dirt and rolled her car. There was no actual collision and it was low speed, if it wasn't on a the side of a small hill created for the overpass I doubt the car would have even rolled. The girl was partially ejected because she didn't have her safety belt on. Her own car rolled over her head and busted it open and she died on scene. I doubt whether she sensed any danger just before she died.
