Seatbelts
Guys, my sister in law (wife's sister) passed in a car accident on Friday last. She was 30 and the sweetest thing you can imagine. She was sitting in the back seat without her seatbelt on. The car rolled after it left the asphalt and fell onto its wheels down a 20 ft embankment. She was ejected from the vehicle and passed instantly. The two in the front, her cousin and a friend, survived with minor injuries as they were wearing seatbelts. This week has been the most surreal of my life so far. Please ensure that your loved ones buckle up in the back.

You are in our thoughts and prayers, Monkus. My parents were among the first to be really serious about making sure we buckled up. I've been in enough accidents as it is. Since we were all strapped in, we were perfectly safe. Without them, I'd hate to think what would have happened.

I'm sorry for your loss, Monkus. So much harder when you know it could have been avoided. Thanks for the strong reminder.

Sad news. Sorry for your loss. Thanks for the reminder, although I always wear my seat belt
in the front, I'm not nearly so diligent when in the back. Take care.

Very sorry to hear that.

Monkus, my heart goes out for you, your wife and family. Such a sad loss seems so meaningless.
I'm a huge advocate for seat belts for every passenger and correctly installed child seats. My past fire/EMS days exposed me to how critical these are, as well as to the many sad losses when they don't get used.

Monkus, my condolences to you and your family.
