Simon Klebanow , a Weston resident had many thoughts running through his head after the accident he was involved in. One of the main impactful conclusions he came to was how demolished his vehicle looked after the crash.“If you took a look at my car and was told the driver lived, you'd say, 'No way,' '' he said. ''There's no question about it. My seat belt saved me.'' Many car crash survivors that wear their seatbelt end up with a very similar story like this. The man even said it himself that if he wouldn't have been wearing his belt he wouldn't be here sharing his story. The statement appeals to logos because Simon knew from the second he put his seatbelt on it could potentially save his life, and that is exactly what it did.
Everyone most likely knows that statistics may educate and even persuade personal opinions. Although, according to the Saved By The Belt Club stories have a bigger impact than basic statistics. Facts are simply an amazing reference that people may use to refer to when they want to be informed on a specific subject. Research has shown that there is a 60 percent chance of escaping death and injury in an accident when wearing a seat belt, Mr. Whyte said. ''If you knew you had a 60 percent chance of winning Lotto, you'd go out and buy a ticket,'' he added. ''So why not increase the likelihood of being alive by fastening your belt?'' Statistics are primarily the most effective, logical, and simple way to get a point across, and that is what Mr. White did. But, the Saved by the Belt Club is correct, i personally would feel that stories and messages by crash survivors would have a bigger impact on my own decisions when i get in my car and have the choice to buckle up or not. I feel that this statement appeals to logos because it involves general statistics to get the point across even when it is related to a real life situation.
