... reasons to have safety equipment in a thread about safety equipment... I missed the point? I made an excuse?, no I made a reason.
If you are so concerned with saving $.001/mile by not having a seat belt, air bags, bumpers, ABS, etc. Why don't you go cut them out of your car. I'd LOVE to hear from you after being involved in an accident.
While you're at it, you can save a lot of weight by having fiberglass body panels instead of high-strength steel. Even better, just take those panels off and use some tape and window plastic to cover everything up. I'm sure that will be very beneficial to your safety. Don't forget to leave room for your kids. Hey save even more room!, I bet they don't need that carseat, I mean, you're not actually going to be in an accident right?
Your kids, the ones who depend on you to keep them safe, to provide everything they need, to come home safe everyday so you can play with trains and make them dinner, throw the ball in the backyard, help them with their homework.
Humans have this fantastic ability to underestimate the dangers/implications involved and drastically overestimate their ability to prevent them.
