Default Idiots who wheel without seatbelts

Got one fer YOU!


This happened at our local park. I was standing about 10 feet behind the guy with the camera.

Skip to 5:10 if you you're pressed for time.

More dollars than sense?


Never a good idea to get behind the wheel without a seat belt, bodies in motion tend to remain in motion, and all that.

while i agree wheeling without a seatbeat is incredibly dangerous i dont use one myself because to many times am i going down or up a steep incline and my seatbelt locks instantly shifting the momentum of my body thus pushing my foot onto either the brake or the gas and either slamming my jeep to a stop or "speeding" in wheeling terms into either a rock or down that incline. again i understand how dangerous it is wheeling without a seatbeat but long as your carefull and hold on you should be fine, where the pressure of that seatbelt is so strong is can easily shift your bodys momentum when it locks n cause just as much damage to you or your vehicle as if you were unbuckled. just my .02 cents to dont rip me apart for this post.

I wear the lap belt but throw the shoulder belt behind me so I can see out the side where I'm going up and down inclines

this might be a smarter idea for myself, as that lap belt doesnt lock n tighten as much as the shoulder belt does. thanks for the idea!... i clearly had a blonde moment here......
