how do you know that he could not have been injured more if he would have
had his seatbelt on. I have seen both the pros and cons of seatbelt wearing.
In crashes in speeds of that nature I think it could go either way just
depending on the point of impact. just food for thought.

Yeah, I stumbled across this a few weeks ago... it's pretty amazing, and the
photos are sobering. He believes he wouldn't have shattered his kneecap had
he been wearing his seat belt. I think he's really freakin' lucky to have
gotten away with crash like that not wearing his belt -- but it was a not a
rollover, fortunately.
Wear your seat belts!! Going unrestrained does not make you a cool rebel
dude!
