Seatbelts are pretty cool (car's driver sent fly8ng after accident)

This is the shocking moment a driver was flung out of his window and across three lanes of traffic in a fatal high-speed crash into a barrier.

The 25-year-old victim, who died from his injuries, was attempting to overtake a vehicle near Taichung City, Taiwan, when he lost control of his car.

Dashcam footage shows the dark-coloured vehicle swerving into a metal barrier around 9.40am on Saturday.

Moments later the driver, who is only known as Lu, is thrown from his hatchback and into the barrier on the opposite side of the road.

Lu was taken to hospital where he was given CPR for up to 30 minutes. He died later that day.

Doctors confirmed he suffered from a severe skull fracture and a cerebral haemorrhage.

The driver's overtaking manoeuvre is illegal in the country but is said to be rarely punished.

Im extremely paranoid about seatbelts. How do people feel okay driving without them on? I'll smoke while driving but god damn it if some doesnt have a seatbelt on I dont start the car. I dont want their death related to me at all.

Among drivers and front-seat passengers, seat belts reduce the risk of death by 45%, and cut the risk of serious injury by 50%. Seat belts are probably one of the best inventions of the 20th century .

Not to mention they can become a literal helicoptering death trap for everyone else
