Default Death in the Family

I just have to share this out of pure stupidity. My wife just suffered a death in the family today of a 17 yr old female. Cause of Death--Motor Vehicle Accident. She died bec she was ejected and hit a tree due to a lack of wearing her seat belt. So do a long time firefighter/ paramedic a favor (yourself a favor too) and buckle up.

I am sorry for your and your Wife's loss, a tragedy to lose a child, something I fear I never have to deal with.

Having spent 2 months in the hospital myself for not wearing a seat belt-once was enough.

I always wear mine for sure. Even when I'm simply moving my vehicle I sometimes put it on out of habbit. I'm sure the wife will be needing you at a time like that, 17 is rather young to go...
