    They're designed for fast egress so you don't burn alive trying to get the ʞ©$ɟing thing off. If it's a proper, FIA certified harness then it should be a piece of cake to get out of it. Most of the high end belts have a rotary cam buckle, when you turn it all of the belts pop off at the same time with almost zero force required.

     

    Of course its probably sensible to keep a belt cutter within reach in case the buckle is damaged.

    Ah finally some one with the same issue.

     

    "It must be great being so tall though"

     

    Oh yea, fantastic. Just don't ever try to rent skates or ski boots. Bowling alleys usually have a pair of clown shoes that will fit though.

     

     

    Was pretty funny in high school but. Girls could fit my shoes on over the top of theirs.

    Try a pair of those "blue steel" boots, seriously as comfortable as my basketball boots.

     

    Except they don't make them in basketball sizes. I custom ordered a pair of size 15s and they arrived with what seemed like size 12-13 steel toes which made them pretty much useless. Unfortunately I think the store that ordered them for me wore the cost.

    It's quite scary to see some of those odds, 1 in every 100 people die in motor vehicle accidents. That means myself or someone I know will probably die in a crash. ʞ©$ɟ that.

     

    I knew someone who died in a car accident before I left high school. They are properly lethal things.

     

    Define "Natural Causes" though..

    ....

    But, If you're a fat shit, and eat yourself to death, They still class that as dying of natural courses.. Well, It wasn't.. If you got off the couch and went outside then you'd probably still be alive

     

    Touche. But the data is available if you wanted to go through and pull them all out.

    The probability of dying is 1, is it not?

    That's why Jono and I found it funny, of course you're more likely to die than to win the Lotto.

     

     

    I was ignoring dying of natural causes because well.... duh! That's no fun.

     

    This article has a nice table: http://www.livescien...odds-dying.html

     

    My favorite is Asteroid Impact: 1-in-200,000

     

     

     

    Too much time on your hands Ben :P

     

    The exact opposite in fact. Just I've got an assignment due so... procrastination.

    Edit: I'm being slightly unfair comparing yearly vs each event but you get the idea.
