Whew!  I can recall with vivid detail the sight of similar wrecks where the cars
occupants did not walk away.  Nor, in fact, did they leave the car alive.
You're very lucky, as I'm sure you know.  I can't imagine a stronger case for
seatbelt use than this.  Volks, if you don't think it can happen to you, ask
Chris.  I'm sure he'll tell you that he had a infantesimally small fraction of a
second to react and avoid his accident.  No matter how good a driver you are,
there's thems out there that ain't - not by a long stretch.  Just imagine if you
had to heal your bus over to the right at 65+ mph, in some kind of evasive
manuver.
