[/quote] I imagine that taking seatbelts out of the equation would result in the body ejecting but wouldn't that technically increase chances of survival? [/quote] I was hit from behind at 55 mph. My PT told me had I of been seat belted in my neck likely would've snapped, rather than the horrible double whiplash I had. I don't think I came anywhere close to being ejected from the car, but my car seat did come off its runners. The car was totaled. [/quote]
Original Message
Wouldn't the deceleration knock someone unconscious immediately?
