    Is it safer to wear seatbelts, or not?

    Your comment of that is takes stupidity to put a truck on its roof is way off. The army report i posted even states that they all have high centers of gravity making rollovers probable The FLU419 SEEs go over so easy they have roll back points on top of the cab and frame for making them upright

    Is it safer to wear seatbelts, or not?
