With so many accident reports mentioning people thrown from their carts I would never consider not having belts in my cart. A car or another cart hitting you produces a lot of force that will propel you out of any opening. My cousin's wife died when her bike hit a grate and she went head first over the handlebars and hit gear head on the ground without a helmet. It does not take much to do a lot of damage.

I never used to use car seat belts back when it was optional until I saw a young girl halfway through her windshield. It was a gruesome sight that resulted in me never riding in a car with my seat belt.

I have found that many people who don't want to wear seatbelts, will point out, the one exception to the rule, where people would have been less hurt if they didn't use seatbelts. I will buy retractable seatbelts, that cross both the upper and lower body to prevent something tragic happening.

I'm going to get down from my soapbox and get a cup of coffee.
