In case your children don't wear seat belts

My two daughters were driving with a friend yesterday.  After an afternoon of mini golf and getting an ice cream cone, they were stopped at a stop light on a major 4 lane road.  A kid came over the hill in his SUV, driving 40 - 50 MPH and not paying attention.  Without even hitting his brakes [text messaging???] he hit our car.  Here are the photos:





They took our youngest to the hospital with a concussion and she is doing well.  It took another 20 minutes for fire fighters to use the jaws of life to extract our oldest.  The key is:

1.  ALL THREE WALKED AWAY FROM THE ACCIDENT AND ARE FINE!!!
2.  ALL THREE WERE WEARING SEAT BELTS
3.  FIRE FIGHTERS AND THE CAR EXPERTS TOLD US 2 - 3 WOULD HAVE DIED WITHOUT THE SEAT BELTS.

Show these images to your kids.  It could have been them!
