Time to prevent train collision and derailments caused by untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)

[BaltACD]

I like (and wish more were} companies that are as intelligent and employee considerate as Shadow the Cats Owner’s and Randy’s are. BaltACD, I, like you, have some concerns about "junk science and dislike that there are the adverisers that find Doctors who will say many things for money, but there are risks to all of us from those that deny facts. When kids don’t get imunizations because their parents believe that imunizations cause autism, other kids are at risk. And while it is not possible to put a price on a life, the cost of train wrecks is not insignifcant, and if it is the train you and your loved ones are riding on, wouldn’t you want to know your engineer was not going to fall asleep at the throttle. OK, I know. PTC will prevent it. But the world is NOT flat. Science works but there are charlatans that will try to manipulate you for their gain. I wonder if BaltACD’s comments are in jest. Balt, do you wear a seat belt when you race? Or do you buckle-up all the time? My brother and I installed seat belts in our Dads’ 1952 ford in 1954 before they were standard equipment and I never drive without buckling. They Save lives. So lets take advantage of what can improve our lives.

Part and parcel of my getting my 1st car back in 1963 is that my parents mandated that I install seat belts in it. Every car I have owned since have had them (even when not factory installed). I got rid of my 2003 Durango with 359K on the clock for one reason and one reason alone - the $500+ cost of replacing the driver’s seat belt that would no longer extend. My race cars for the past 30 years have 6 point seat belt systems that get replaced every 3 to 5 years by rule at roughly $200 a pop. Since 2011 it is also required that I use a Head And Neck System (HANS) of restraint to prevent basel skull fractures (what killed Dale Earnhardt Sr.)

How do those two things tie together?
