As far as being eaten by an alligator when going into the water, that is about as likely as an accurate long range weather forecast. Probably never happened.

Being trapped in the car and drowning/burning/whatever is the classic argument for not wearing a seat belt espoused by a certain age group (my mother comes to mind, who would have been 100 last month) and still given by a relatively few people today. It has been thoroughly statistically disproven. Buckle up!
