Stark contrast to the reaction most people had to the invention of seatbelts in cars.

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world -4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Honestly, they are compared a lot, and while seat belts should be encouraged, I don't think they should be mandated for adults.

Unlike masks, you're only going to hurt yourself.

Then again I strongly believe in the right of any adult to end their own life, even if they're physically healthy, or it's not their life.

Absolutely wrong. Seatbelts prevent people from turning into projectiles as well, which most definitely can harm other people.
