wear your seat belts even in the bush

[mickashay]

monday night lost a good friend when his 4x4 rolled down a ledge while out around jamison he was not wearing his seatbelt and was ejected and crushed by his truck,if he was wearing his belt he most likely would have been ok so always wear your belt

Sorry to hear that, too, Mick. That's the second one I've heard of in the past year.

[VladTepes]

Yeah very sad to hear.

Similar thing happened at one of the 4WD parks uop this way a year or so ago
When it coes dwn to it a seat belt is on the the best safety devics available.
Especially on an "ease of use" vs benefit comparison.

i see plenty of pics/vid on the forum....regularly.....of guys not wearing there seat belts

and sorry, i don't agree that it restricts your movement in the cab while driving a a section of rough stuff

Very sorry to hear about that mate

I was guilty of not wearing seat belts whilst in the bush. Now I do, but what I also sometimes do if place the belt that come accross your chest behind me, so basically I still can move my torso but the belt is locked around my waist. A good compromise I think...

OMG that's awful.
I didn't see it in the news.
What track was it ?

Sorry to hear about Loss of your mate That's one of the 1st things I got taught when I first started 4wheeling is to wear a Belt at all times.

Sorry to hear about your mate Mick, its always hard to lose one.
Lets us remember how fragile we really are, and how important safety is to us all.
