24 reasons to wear your seatbelt:

- Two broken cervical vertebrae

- Three compression fractures of the thoracic vertebrae

- Four broken ribs

- One large pneumothorax

- Four fractures in the pelvis

- One contused liver

- One perforated small intestine

- One bruised large intestine

- One open fracture of the distal femur

I will never understand why people don't use their seatbelts. It's not as if we don't have mountains of evidence illustrating how they will protect your health and your life.
