The National Safety Council estimates 441 people will die and 42,700 will be seriously injured in U.S. traffic crashes during the 2010 Thanksgiving holiday period, from 6 p.m. Nov. 24 to midnight Nov. 28.
However, NSC estimates that as many as 336 people will be saved because they used their safety belts, and an additional 115 lives would be saved if everybody cheap ventolin buckled up during the Thanksgiving holiday.
From 2004 to 2008, safety belts saved more than 75,000 lives– enough people to fill a large sports arena. Buckling up helps you remain secure in a vehicle during a crash, as being thrown from a vehicle is almost always deadly. Air bags also offer in-vehicle protection, but they are designed to work with safety belts, not replace them.
