When I first started out as a pump mechanic for a rental company, I was doing field service.
Driving around all day long servicing equipment on huge developments in and around Orlando FL.
Boss was riding with me one day. I rolled up to this big 500 acre jobsite that I had to pretty much rally the service truck to get around. I climbed out on the access road, locked in the hub on the truck.
When I climbed back in, I looked over at my boss and suggested he put his seat belt on. He said he was good and didn't need it. I suggested it again with the same results.
I started out across the jobsite making my rounds. In on spot, we had to cross an 8" diameter hose. Pump was off, but the hose appeared to be partially full of water.
I slowed down to about 5 mph and hit the hose. We launched
The hose was partially full of sand 
Boss launched into the roof of the truck. His back hit the roof flat. He proceeded to hit the seat and then bounce back into the roof when the rear tires hit the hose
I started accelerating again and my boss started scrambling to get his seat belt on.
I looked at him and said "I told you, you should put your seat belt on!!!!!
