Unconfirmed rumor has it, there were no seat belts in the Bronco.

This was on the SBNF AAT list I believe it is the same accident.
that looks alot like pucker hill (area fenced off for a couple years cuz it's dangerous) could be another area tho - on both trails, if u hit your brakes instead of using the skinny pedal, this could happen. very sorry for the loss of life. lets try to be a little safer when possible, and have the safety gear we all need

All it takes is one OOPS! to make a wheeling trip a disaster. Buckle up, and beer AFTER the run.

its common sense, really. i wont make a run to the gas station without putting my belt on. they chose to go OFFROADING without theirs!?!?
i allways say i dont want a nanny state, and i dissagree with helmet laws... free market and all that... this is the result of what happens when people make their own bad choices!
you wouldnt have caught me dead getting into a vintige vehicle without seat belts in a 4x4 situation.... my jeep has an elaborate roll cage, and is getting 5 points soon, you wont see this happen to me!
NO, whats harsh, is that thing was street legal driving to the 4x4 spot ON THE HIGHWAYS without the belts!

talkin to some old folks about the hay day of unseat belted driving, my mom came up with a good point... what if the guy rolls on the freeways, ejects himself onto the other side of the freeway, then you get into an accident trying to swerve around him...
yup, NO DIFFERANT than drunk driving.

Haha, not wearing your seat belt is not at all like driving drunk.

Some states are trying to raise a DUI to attempt murder, and I think rightfully so, especially if they flag you on a freeway or otherwise at high speeds. The body being ejected and causing more accidents is of course possible and something to think about but mostly, you are only hurting yourself at that point. Well, and the ones who love you.

i agree with very strict sentances for DUI, dont get me wrong.
but attempted murder is when someones trying to kill someone else, deliberately. negligent homicide? maybe, attempted murder? NOOO WAAAY! i see that as an over-reaction, over-reactions that happen way too often!
punish people for the crimes they commit, not other worse crimes just to get them a worse sentance. if DUI consequences arent strict enough, make em more strict.
how did we go from a very sad situation to DUI? was hoping we could all learn something from this unfortunate accident. i don't usually wear seat belts off-road, but i sure as hell will now. i've driven this trail so many times i could easily be over-confident, both in my abilities, and my rigs.
