I would rather take a 10% mpg hit over not being able to walk/ride atv's, or live my life due to not having enough safety equipment. Is this really even a debate, and why are we having it? If I would of only had a waist belt when I got hit, I probably would have broken my back. Anyone who thinks that all this safety equipment is unnecessary for the sake of a couple mpg is just plain foolish. Is it really worth losing your lively hood over saving 1-2$ per fillup. Someone said 'did we strike a nerve' in a previous post. **** Yea a nerve has been struck. Right in my neck. And I'm thankful for the restraint gear that kept it from being anything more.
