this is really a sad situation, my hearts goes out to all the friends and family, I agree that seat belts should be worn and children restrained in their carseats, but I would much rather be thrown the a windshield than be in a burning car, folks want charges filed but if god is ready to take you home that’s what is going to happen no matter who what are where you are. It is always so sad to hear about small children leaving this earth before their lives start but the lord has a reason for everything, again my prayers go out to the family.

REGARDING:
“a child can be properly restrained in carseat and seat belt, but when the car is in an accident with roll over the seatbelt doesn’t hold.”

I wouldn’t punish anybody because nothing you can do is worse than what they are already suffering.

I will accept it is possible for seat belts to fail, just less likely than if they aren’t used in the first place. I would hate for people to not use them for fear they might fail.

According to DOT requirements, seat belts must hold at least 4,000 pounds at the weakest point. That’s enough to protect most people from being thrown into windshields or into other unforgiving objects.

http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/fmcsr/fmcsrruletext.aspx?reg=571.209

S4.2 “- – - webbing in a seat belt assembly shall have not less than the following breaking strength when tested by the procedures specified in S5.1(b): Type 1 seat belt assembly—26,689 N; Type 2 seat belt assembly—22,241 N for webbing in pelvic restraint and 17,793 N for webbing in upper torso restraint. “

Now, as everyone knows, a Newton is about 0.22481 pounds of force, so 26,689 Newtons is 6,000 pounds
22,241 N = 5000 pounds pelvic restraint
17,793 N = 4000 pounds upper torso restraint

David for sympathy, caution and seat belts

>>>Even the newspapers have different stories, this one says that the children were not restrained. The Atmore paper says that the children may not have been properly restained

That’s because the Atmore paper has not updated their website. It also does not name the children — it’s an old story.

The state trooper report says they were unrestrained.

I can’t believe how some people are wanting charges to be filed against the father. Nobody knows what really happened yet not even the police, that is why it is under investigation. Even the newspapers have different stories, this one says that the children were not restrained. The Atmore paper says that the children may not have been properly restained. I know from experience that a child can be properly restrained in carseat and seat belt, but when the car is in an accident with roll over the seatbelt doesn’t hold. The carseat was ejected from the car, it happened with a 86 model monte carlo. So, don’t be blaming the father for not restraining the baby’s, it could have been a malfunction of the seatbelt. My prayers are with the fathers family that he does recovery from this accident. My prayers are also with the mother.

Why do some insist on calling this an “accident”? It was not an accident. It was negligence. Negligence that took the life of an infant. An accident is an occurrence that no one has any control over. Negligence is when someone does something stupid and it causes harm…….very big difference! I accept the fact that this baby is now in the arms of Jesus but the family will suffer the mental anguish of losing this baby for the rest of their lives.

I met a miricle today….I met little Keylen. What a sweet little boy. I call him a miricle because he survived the crash. I like to think that while the car was “rolling over” he some how was in God’s hands. Just wish the little baby and Emmett could have been okay as well.

THIS is why we have to have good parents, instruction, teachers, signs, lights,
laws, and LEO’S and yet……. What is called accidents by loved one’s is
called something else by others.

@Terri Sanders you said it all……

May all our loved one’s have a safe weekend and may GOD help us ALL!

My prayers are with this family in their great time of loss! I pray that Kelyn will not have memories of this horrible accident. We have all had times when we took chances that we should not have taken. I will be praying for this father as he recovers. I know if he had a choice he would have gladly his life rather then loosing the child! Alexis is now with her heavenly Father, but the others will be in my prayers. May God bring you comfort in this time of sorrow. BB
