Rep Power: 0 Thanks, but I think you kinda overblew it a bit.

Um, ok. In an accident, I'd be more worried if my collar bone is broken than if my seatbelt is going to unbuckle [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG].

Rep Power: 0 I got to admit I've been in two accidents already, and my seatbelt locked so fast and hard, that if my air bag did blow, there was no way my face was hitting it. Not to mention if the impact was any harder, I would have broke something in my collar im sure...
