Ford 2007 F-650 Owner's Manual page 82

Reasons given...
"I was in a hurry"
"Seat belts don't work"
"Traffic is light"
"Belts wrinkle my clothes"
"The people I'm with don't
wear belts"
"I have an air bag"
"I'd rather be thrown clear"
Do not sit on tope of a buckled safety belt or insert a latchplate
into the buckle to avoid the BeltMinder chime. To do so may
adversely affect the performance of the vehicle's air bag system
One-time disable
Any time the safety belt is buckled and then unbuckled during an
ignition ON cycle, BeltMinder will be disabled for that ignition cycle only.

Seating and Safety Restraints
Consider...
Prime time for an accident.
BeltMinder reminds us to take a few
seconds to buckle up.
Safety belts, when used properly,
reduce risk of death to front seat
occupants by 45% in cars, and by
60% in light trucks.
Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in
single-vehicle crashes, many when
no other vehicles are around.
Possibly, but a serious crash can do
much more than wrinkle your clothes,
particularly if you are unbelted.
Set the example, teen deaths occur 4
times more often in vehicles with
TWO or MORE people. Children and
younger brothers/sisters imitate
behavior they see.
Air bags offer greater protection when
used with safety belts. Frontal air
bags are not designed to inflate in
rear and side crashes or rollovers.
Not a good idea. People who are
ejected are 40 times more likely
to DIE. Safety belts help prevent
ejection, WE CAN'T "PICK OUR
CRASH".
