Considering the same person who gave that kid permission to ride sans belt is the same idiot filming him while driving...I'd say that kid's over/under on catastrophic injury are about twelve. Seconds from now.
No, then the subject in the title would have been called an "Old Fart" or some other derogatory synonym for an old person, rather than a "Kid". "Kid" denotes a child, such as our naive pal Federal Farmboi. Whereas I, (being a lot greyer than I am in my avatar photo), haven't been called a "Kid" (stupid or otherwise) since Reagan was still in office.
I remember getting in minor wrecks and having my parents digging the seat belts out from wherever they were wedged/tangled before the cops came. Also once my mom told us (in bad traffic I guess) if she slams on the brakes put our seat belts on quick before we hit.
My family's rule for seatbelts when growing up were if in front, always wear one. If in the backseat, we didn't have to (I guess the theory was if there was sudden breakage, we kids would just bang against the back of the front seat. Makes kinda sense...).
@Phoenix I'll do you one better. My mom had a two seater fiat spider that she used to haul four kids: two wedged into the front seat and me and the baby doubled over and crammed into the space where the retractable roof folded up. Not at all uncomfortable and dangerous.
