Yessir!! Fasten those seat belts. They do save lives. Accidents - which
are always unintended and unexpected - DO HAPPEN!

Once, quite unintentionally and totally unplanned for - I flew a Cessna
180 through an outside loop!! If I had not had my seat belt cinched down
tight, I prol''ly would not have gotten out of that little maneuver
alive. By being strapped in instead of being flung around loose and
uncontrollably in the cockpit, I managed to get things back under
control and make a safe landing. Of course my nerves were shattered and
my britches were full, but I'm still here and that's what counts.

Seat belts matter - whether in an airplane or a car. Without seat belts
on , rolling a car over is just as dangerous as un-intentionally rolling
an airplane over - and the damage to your person as a result can be as
fatal in either one.

Fasten your seatbelts!!
