Beach weather? DAMN! Its like 38 degrees here, and thats warm for this time of year here.

As far as i know she didn't have anything in her lap, as for the airbag i don't know about either, When we arrived she was ambulatory.

Even certs under EMT, Scene safety is one of the most important terms drilled into our heads. Seriously, unless i have LE or some traffic control on scene, i don't consider it safe, unless we have a patient with an immediate life threat. I hate to sound cruel, but my safety comes first.

I am pretty sure Dyna Med makes one, try googling it. I think i saw it on moore medical

she was mid 20's. The windshield just had a few cracks, and no evidence of an object coming into contact, the reason i believe she was wearing a seat belt was that she had abrasions that would make sense that she had a seat belt on, and she did tell us that she had it on, I know you cant believe...
