Just how fast are your floats moving?

 Seatbelts are also a politically correct thing. For example, under Hollywood
rules, you can't show a character in a movie or TV show riding in a car unless
they're wearing a seatbelt. Even the most depraved, violent, psychotic
murderer has to be wearing his seatbelt if he's in a scene where he's
traveling in a car. It's okay to show him killing and dismembering people but
heaven forfend we 'send the wrong message' by letting him drive a car without
buckling in.
