After hearing about the incident on the weekend from my brother who was a marshall only meters away from the accident it dawned on me how important safety in our sport is, even after being involved in a head on a few weeks ago the importance of seatbelts still had'nt penetrated my THICK skull.

So wear your seat belts and put safety first!!!!

Well put Drafty.

Your truck can be replaced, your body can't. (Or those of your passengers, for that matter).

They're a pretty simple devise, not brain surgery to work out. So, use them. (Not directed at you Drafty, just a general comment, mate).

They are suppose to, yes. But in this instance, we still don't know for sure, what happened. So until there is an official statement, I think I might just look at it as an unfortunate accident that nobody could be held liable for.
