Reply #74: They saved me more than once as a kid [View All]

[SarahB]

As an infant in the early 70's, we were in an accident and the the car did a 180 on ice into a ditch and was totaled. Carseats were new, but I was in one. It probably saved my life then. When I was 6, a car nit at about 40 MPH, right where I was. I walked away without a scratch (later found out, it likely caused a bit of internal pelvic injury though, but at least I wasn't dead or morbidly injured). Another accident with someone else driving with a totaled car when I was 17, and was fine. I would never drive a block without buckling my seatbeat.
