Some six decades after Nash and Ford began offering seat belts as an option and a little over five decades after Saab introduced this life saving idea as standard on its cars, and still you find many people who foolishly oppose their use.
In a sheer stroke of luck, a man in the passenger seat of a sedan model that smashed into a Peugeot hatchback at a crossroad in Turkey, was thrown out of the car but amazingly, he made it out alive and unhurt.
Of course, the incident says more about the importance of always wearing your seat belt than anything else…
Check out the footage of the accident from the closed circuit television in the video after the break.
