@tapian4523 yes but they wouldn't have travelled so far and so quickly cos his overall movement forward would be less i.e. he wouldn't go so far as to hit the windscreen.
I'm glad to see that this ad makes it clear that airbags are not always as effective at saving lives as many people think they are. The truth is, while an airbag is helpful, a seatbelt is much more so-anyone ever see a rollercoaster that uses airbags instead of seat harnesses? Your car and body organs are moving just as fast as a rollercoaster train on open roads. Would you dare ride a rollercoaster with no restraints? No? Then you shouldn't drive a car with no restraints either!
Airbags and seat belts are designed to work together... Thats why airbags are called supplemental restraint systems, the seat belts are the primary form of restraint.
Well, Okay, I ain't meaning to start no arguements. Are you from Illinois? Because here in Illinois if they catch you without a seatbelt you get ticketed. That ain't my fault, I didn't make the law. Nobody can force you to wear a seatbelt, though.
I'm not sure where you're from, but here in the United States taxi drivers are big dummies who seem to think they own the whole road! They don't wear seat belts, drive like maniacs and then complain about how bad "other" drivers are-usually about the drivers that did nothing wrong, they just happened to be in the stupid cab driver's way!
I wish it were that easy here in the United States suburbs! Around here if you ain't got a car, you ain't going nowhere! Public transit here in the suburbs sucks-if you miss your bus, you may have to wait an hour or two for the next one-and, of course, they're always late. And if your destination isn't on the scheduled route you may wind up walking half the way! And cab fare is ridiculous-alot of people can't afford cabs! Sorry to sound capitalistic and wasteful, but it's the sad truth.
Not really. If you think about it, you have a load of meat impacting the ribs at about 30mph, and that's going to do a fair bit of damage. Also, with the forces involved, the pulmonary artery could easily be ruptured.
Wow. Hopefully you'll be in the car yourself so you won't accidentally kill anyone else when you go flying around the car. Dumbass. You might not even die and you have to be paralyzed for the rest of your life. But do whatever you want. Hopefully your insurance can pay for everything.
OK HE IS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD and he cant see a car right in front of him... he is driving on the wrong side of the road as this is in the UK and there doesnt appear to be anyone in the other car
Utter rubbish. Why is being told this more of a threat than being told you'll die anyway? Also it is the crash that kills him. Thats like saying "well it wasn't the heart attack that killed them, it was the lack of blood being pumped around the body". Shut up! The simplest way of saying they died is how they died. So yeah wear a seatbelt, don't drink and drive, don't speed and don't make crap adverts like this. Thank you.
This isn't a crap advert, this is an effective way of getting the message across. A small minority of people like you would say it's utter rubbish, but the majority of people would be affected by what they have just seen, and think twice about not wearing a seat belt.
Well I'm glad there is at least a minority who'll question the merits of such an advert. Obviously the sentiment is good but I just can't see how some cheesy computer graphics furthers the campaign. If being told you risk being killed isn't enough for some people then I really don't hold much hope that this will get through to them either.
Like I said, only a small minority would be unaffected by what they see. Telling someone what might happen doesn't really have much effect; showing them what might happen does.
They've been showing people dying for years but you really believe that now they are showing internal body parts being destroyed this is what's going to change things?
Actually yes, since the start of those adverts, there have been a decrease in the number of deaths regarding not wearing a seatbelt (although I'm not saying the adverts caused the decrease). Since they're starting to get a bit more graphic with their adverts, I suppose that number will continue to decrease (again, I'm not saying the adverts alone caused this).
This advert is so shocking, and I think that's a good thing. I understand why people want this advert edited or removed. But this is the general idea of shock-tactic.
It sticks in my mind, but for the graphic detail. I just seen no reason why we need to see his organs, thats why it should be banned or at least edited. It's unethical.
Terrible and dangerous advert. This advert is going to make people think that wearing a seat will actually make a head on collision safe. If you dispute any of this then I compel you to study Professor John Adam's work on seat belts.
This is a stupid advert because his organs would still carry on travelling forward at whatever speed he had been doing whether he had a seat belt on or not. In fact the air bag would allow him to decelerate slightly which wouldn't happen if restrained by a seat belt.He probably wouldn't bash his head on the windscreen though.
The airbag is there to prevent your head from hitting the steering wheel. It won't hold up against your whole body weight hitting it at 30-40mph. A seat belt minimizes forward movement, thus greatly reducing the forces to which the body is exposed, not to mention preventing the blunt force trauma from impacting the dashboard. A study in the US showed that after seat belt laws were introduced and enforced, 40% more people escaped crashes without injury, and 35% escaped with only mild injuries.
I'm dissapointed, when I heard "oh graphic ad, only shown after watershed" I expected proper gore.. not something that's tame even by csi standards... sheesh. Nothing like the ads I grew up with PRE watershed in NZ.. now THOSE were graphic and traumatic.
fuckin typical name init "richard", its not "john" then :L
i dont understand why this advert cant be shown before 9pm, people are goin round sayin how violent it is, that is nuffin compared to the scary 18 games the kids are playing
they should focus on more adverts like sex education adverts, teenage pregnancies, do teenage parents ever think if they had a disabled child would they still be able to cope...hmmm?
The advert can't be shown before 9pm in case younger kids watch it and freak out... Makes sense...
:L The stuff that goes on tv has to be carefully moderated to make sure it doesn't offend people.
It's not the parents of the disabled child that have to "cope" its the child that does. They are stuck with a condition that they can't do much about for the rest of their lives. I think more should be done to teach younger children not to mock people with serious disabilities. It's not fair.
The seatbelt slows you down slightly more gently than the dashboard, steering wheel or airbag (don't forget the airbag is going in the opposite direction to the driver). Some seatbelts also incorporate systems that "give" slightly so you can spend more time decelerating than a fixed belt.
If you are ever in an accident don't forget to insist that you insurer replace your belts!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I hate this advert, I think it should be banned, its not realy teaching anything its just putting unnesasary gore on t.v and scaring people for no reason, they should concentrate on more important things like people smoking and driving, and boy racers that do laps all night wasting endless amounts of petrol and deisel. Thanks for yet another pointless advert, Richard
its hardly pointless if it makes people realise the importance of wearing a seatbelt. Even if it got one person to start wearing the seatbelt all the time (which is definatly has) then its worth it.

No, because the seatbelt stops you with a much more "gentle" force. It doesn't stop you rapidly then force you back.
