I was doing about 50kph when the other driver hit me :o and I rolled down a 20 mtr embankment with my saftey belt on I sustained severe whip lash and it is not that hard to undo a seatbelt when you are haning upsidedown........Seatbelts do save lives.......

Yes, I always wear a belt and always off-road, too. I've found it holds me in my seat better on the rough stuff instead of me just bouncing around. (That's only fun in company when the car is parked somewhere! :p)
There are some hours of entertainment if you type "toyota rollover" on YouTube

I always wear my belt but the odd time when you get out to check something out or get stuck etc and get back in the vehicle the belt does'nt always pull back out I will do it up as soon as possible but am aware it could go pear shaped before then.
I dropped a wheel into a Wombat hole at walking pace.Quote:
