And seatbelts
“I don’t need your dern seatbelts. I prefer to be thrown safely clear of the crash!”
I remember prematurely scoffing at this notion in regards to early formula 1
But with the context that the driver stuck out like this, and were more likely than not to go up in flames in an accident, I'd say it might actually very well have been safer without.
But, yeah, it of course makes no sense in consumer cars.
There is a radio dj where I live who likes to joke "the windshield is my seatbelt". Because he used to not wear a seatbelt, until he went through his windshield
