    Default Seatbelts - loosely related to longboarding

    This weekend I planed to drive my car from South Florida to Denver, CO for the summer. Unfortunately, due to heavy rain in northern Florida my friend and I ended up spinning out, going off the road into a ditch and rolling over 1.5 times, landing on the roof. This all started happening around 75mph. Luckily, my friend and I were fine thanks to a well constructed Nissan Pathfinder and our seatbelts. The car is totaled, one of the wheels fell completely off on impact, windows shattered, etc. and yet I have been injured far worse while riding a longboard (this is the only connection this post has to skating). Long story short, WEAR YOUR SEATBELT!!! You aren't invincible. If we hadn't been wearing seatbelts, I likely would not be typing this but would be in ICU or dead. The same goes for skating. You aren't too good to wear your helmet or your pads. You can lose control when everything appears to be completely in your hands. So put your lid on and pad up, and put on your seatbelt when you're driving to your session, because you never know when sh*t will happen. Keep safe everyone.
