Yeah, it's unheard of that an unrestrained occupant fly out and hit another person. Million to one. He/she is most likely to hit asphalt. Even more unfortunate, striking a tree or telephone/utility pole can occur, which is worse.
(As long as we're keeping it going...)
The issue of children and vehicle restraint is it's own cottage industry. There's something called the "led box defense". Often you see injury to a child in a car seat in an accident. The claim is that the car seat is defective- had the seat worked as...
There's a thing in vehicle accident reconstruction called trip speed- it's where the car's forward momentum is so great that when the wheels get turned sideways (instead of straight ahead) the car will flip, usually more than once.
When the car is flipping the centrifugal force will pull you...
Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon
I'll disagree in part. If they wanted to do a pp scam it would have been easiest to take POs, wait 6 months, then disappear. As it stands now, theres a ton of money theyve had to give back because of cancels. Maybe theyre the dumbest scammers ever. Who...
Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon
Scammers usually take the money and run. They dont keep posting updates. maybe M8 has something more nefarious in mind...
Issues with seatbelts are generally rare. The issues you raise are likely due to seatbelt misuse or failure. You are far, far safer wearing a seatbelt than not.

Your larger issue of mandating safety vs personal...
Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon
The fact that theyre still engaging runs counter to the rip off/scam theory.
They have/are being dragged through the mud (justifiably so), but theyre still out posting pics.
I think it's in Florida where you can get an insurance policy with higher personal injury protection in lieu of wearing a helmet.
In a few other states the statute doesn't define "wear", so you see guys with the helmet attatched to some article of clothing they're wearing. The argument is that...
I have no reason to doubt the given rationale. Im just saying it can be a tool to promote early POs. Hence, it wouldn't surprise me if we saw it used again.
I have to believe there will be more than a few dropouts on this at bbts and ssc.
And i wouldnt be surprised if the whole 1st batch vs 2nd batch was used more frequently as a way to reward early POs.
TOS im sticking with the 3 already out.
I'll also pick up TWOK kirk, spock, and khan.
TNG- all except guinan and wesley. And dr pulaski. And weird aliens (gorn, mogatu type stuff).
Then im done.

Someone wrote it already, but there's a small fortune waiting to be made repainting Winston.

If you get on a wait list pretty sure there's no NRD. They just tell you if it converts and charge the whole sum at that time.
