If your not wearing your seatbelt, they get nothing. It is a legal order that you are supposed to be wearing your seatbelt at all times dude. Happened to someone from Ft. Hood I think. Wrecked his car, wasn't wearing his seatbelt, family got nothing from SGLI. Be careful about that.

I do 70mph on my motorcycle, and what the hell is my helmet going to do? I still wear it, though. At least my brain will still be living when I have no limbs. I also had a friend die from a seatbelt.

Sometimes I wear a seatbelt...sometimes I don't. That's all.

there is a difference between wearing a seatbelt in a car and not wearing one on a bike.

car. a seatbelt slows down your stopping time. if you didnt have it on you would go slamming into the dash/windshield providing you with instantanous slowing down, not a gradual. on a motor cycle if you hit something you and are still connected to your bike, it would be a bad thing. but if you are not connected you will slow down faster, i mean when sliding, when you are not adding 500 extra pounds of weight to your momentum. its all about increasing your rate of slowing down.

take a physics class and you will understand more

its all about inertia and negative acceleration

you mean deceleration

FYI... SPEED DOESNT KILL. THE SUDDEN STOP DOES

^^ agreed. The human body can only handle a sudden G force change of only 11-12 G's. (G being the force of gravity being forced onto the body. Normal is 14.7psi or 1 Bar. In a severe car accident the sudden stop of running into yourdashboard, or steering wheel can be upwards of 100g. So that kind of impact destroys bones. I used to never wear a seatbelt, ever. I was in a car accidnet where I wasn't wearing it. I broke 2 of my ribs, fractured my skull, and plenty of cuts bumps and bruises. If I had been wearing my seatbelt I only would have had a few bruises. Instead I bounced around the cabin, slammed my head on the window, and put my chest into the steering wheel. I still have no idea how I lived, but I did. Now I never go anywhere without it on.

its still acceleration...just negative....cmon physics boy
