Wear one!? I should think you couldn't miss it! (But he may cheat and wear a turtle-neck sweater)

>>>>>My life was saved because I WASN'T wearing a seat belt. I had an accident when I was about 17, where a woman ran a stop sign and totalled the van I was driving. I don't know if I went out the windshielf or the door, because it knocked me out. But, I was thrown into the street and ultimately on the curb, while the van flipped over about three times and wound up wrapped around a tree. My parents came to the accident site after I had already been transported to the hospital, and my mother said she just knew I was either mangled or dead. All I had was scraped knees and a little bout with shock.

It seems that drivers wearing their safety belts feel safer and thus generally drive faster which causes more pedestrian accidents and injuries. Go figure...

>>>It was on the UK news recently that wearing a cycling helmet isn't all that safe. It turns out that drivers give helmet-wearing cyclists less berth and generally less consideration cos they subconciously deem tham more expert. Go figure!
