I seem to remember an old saying, " an ounce of prevention, is worth a pound of cure", seems to fit a lot of things, I have also wondered why they were allowed to hang out of the car, and I'm surprised that the insurance companies don't crack down on it, looks like a perfect way to get some bad hurts! Seems even more foolish to allow seat belts, that are so loose, could get caught on a passing car, and hurt both drivers, it sometimes amazes me, what dangerous positions parents will put their kids in, for bragging rights, or a trophy. But, I guess I'm easily amazed, I managed to live thru almost 40 years of Kart racing, and 15 years of Midget racing, plus boat racing, and motorcycles, and jalopies back in the 50's, course both shoulders remind me of my foolish ways, every time I try to reach up, but what th heck, I was lucky.
