There is that but if you take the time to dig into some of those you will find specific cases that they cite and review.

Dig into a few, there are cases.

Sort of. I was answering your point about "show me one instance, ever, of a seat belt failing".

There are instances.

(shrug) I'm not the one claiming there's a cite in there somewhere.

Nice creative snipping there. You seem to have missed the part which included said failure changing the outcome for the patient. If a crash is intense enough to cause a seatbelt to fail, the fleshy person-type thing that the seatbelt was holding, will have fared much worse. A seatbelt, you see, is stronger than flesh. If the seatbelt is damaged, chances are pretty damn high that the flesh will not have done real well in that same crash. Maybe there are cases where a used junkyard seatbelt has failed where a used not-junkyard seatbelt would not have, but all I've seen on that is vague handwaving and theorizing.

So you've said.

Jeez Dave - Most people have a bad day at work, they come home and kick the dog...

Are you a lawyer or something? You're starting to sound like the playground bully. You closed your case in your first post, where you pointed out that every second-hand car comes with a second-hand seat belt. Lighten up a little :)

Actually, I'm having a great day, thanks for asking.

What, because I'm asking someone to back up an absurd statement that they've made with something credible? Get over it.

I hope you're not referring to mine, because it simply answered your question.

You really are cranky lately Dave. Better go buy a new Saab or something to cheer you up.

I've got a better idea.

There. All better.

You've changed Dave. I hope you find something to help you with the stress.
