Derek Kieper was an anti seat belt advocate who believed mandatory seat belt laws represented too much government interference in the lives of everyday Americans.
I remember a friend in school (maybe around 1st grade, maybe earlier) died in a car accident. Jeep rolled over with his family in it. He was buckled in, but he was small. Everyone was inside the car except him. He somehow slipped out of the seatbelt and was ejected from the jeep through the side window. The cause of death was a broken neck from landing on the ground. His brother was the one who found him and suffers from survivor's guilt even to this day nearly 40 years later.
I remember when these first came out up in Michigan they law make r s and police said we will never just stop you for nor wearing a seat belt….well wernt lieing or were they?…..
A guy on the shroomery who everyone loved was in a car crash with his bother and died, both of them were not wearing seatbelts, the brother survived relatively unharmed, yet the shroomery member passed away, I wear my seatbelt 99% of the time, there is 1% times where I dont due to whatever, its different each time
you should wear your seatbelt, it is there for your safety and has been proven to reduce the chance of injury and/or death in car accidents… However I believe that Seatbelt laws are representative of common government overreach laws and should not exist / be enforced. I believe that the law should be that minors must remain buckled but if you are old enough to vote and make your own decisions you can make decisions that are unsafe for you without the government interfering.
I don’t miss him, anyone else? It’s not interference it’s protecting the tax payer for not having to pay for all the bills these mental giants rack up in closed head injuries without insurance.
Yeah seat belt laws belt are affective at preventing natural selection from happening. Put them in cars but leave it up to the people to decide to use them . The smart ones will live and we won't end up with a bunch of stupid people in our population like we have now saying a man is a women
Funny, i had a person unalive themselves a few years ago who was a major anti seatbelt, anti helmet laws person.
How did he get that way? The seatbelt caused major injuries during a crash, in which he begged for years to be allowed to die. Seatbelts and helmets transfer the energy. You are trading death with major injury. People should have the right to choose.
There are plenty of people today, with crippling injuries that will tell you what they think of seatbelts if you bother to ask.
He is still right, the government has no right to tell us what we can do with our bodies in our vehicles which are an extension of our home. The government is not the safety police, we are in charge of our own safety, you bootlickers need to understand that and stop giving our rights away, just look up what Benjamin Franklin said about the matter.
How has that got to do with it being wrong to FORCE U to wear it? That's just showed him u should wear it not be forced to wear it
well thats just him getting what he deserved
Literally anti vaxxers who died from Covid lmao
Cara you the length some Americans go to just too “protect their rights”.
Government wants to make sure you don’t kill yourself? “ITS MY GODDAM RIGHT TO KILL MYSELF”
He may have died because he wasn't wearing his seatbelt. It also may not have mattered at all.
Regardless, he was right.

I hate liberals that support these laws
What's the jump in logic between requiring seatbelts and requiring people to lock their doors?
🤣🤣🤣
Less than 4 months later…

Well well welll
He never said that seat belts weren't effective, he didn't believe the government should control every aspect of our lives
I’m DEEEEEEPLY proud of not wearing a seatbelt!!
He's right THOOOO. Why do they control where I live or die
In other words, you can’t fix stupid. 😂
that is absolutely hilarious
Good, now make anti self harm laws.
sounds stages
This is just one of the things 99% of people agree on that somethings is a stupid idea.

Sick of my tax money wasted on things that don’t hurt people
I don’t miss him, anyone else? It’s not interference it’s protecting the tax payer for not having to pay for all the bills these mental giants rack up in closed head injuries without insurance.
Everyone should wear seat belts.
Government should have no authority whether or not we wear seatbelts. These two things are not mutually exclusive.
I mean always wear your seatbelt but if you give them an inch they will want to take a mile
The government makes protection laws mandatory because stupid people can influence people far easier than a rational person can.
Hey if your over the age of 18 and decide not to wear a seat belt, whatever happens to you is on you, so it should be a choice 🤷♂️
I admire his integrity, remaining a complete idiot right up until the end.
it’s legal to off yourself but not risk your life?
Yeah seat belt laws belt are affective at preventing natural selection from happening. Put them in cars but leave it up to the people to decide to use them . The smart ones will live and we won't end up with a bunch of stupid people in our population like we have now saying a man is a women
Ha, imagine being anti seatbelt and dying because you didn’t wear a seatbelt.
Sound about right
Yeah his plan immediately backfired
