    That’s a laptop, it can have sharp, hard edges and can be quite heavy, you can literally die from falling over on the street, it also doesn’t prove that “everything” can become a deadly projectile

      And how far exactly would you like those goalposts of yours to be shifted?

        There are no goalposts shifted, you should use seatbelts, if you want to go for a darwin award and kill yourself or someone in your car by not wearing one, then be my guest, I don’t give a fuck

          We seem to be in complete agreement then, except that I’m at least a little bit sad for the idiots that make this choice.

          I just don’t believe in forcefully preventing other people from making decisions I think are stupid, as long as those choices don’t significantly affect others around them. And from the way everyone in this thread is grasping at straws to fabricate incredibly flimsy “harm” scenarios, I think we can safely conclude that that’s not actually the case with seatbelts.
