You check yourself for broken bones, then deciding you arent really hurt, you take off the seatbelt. It just might have saved your life... think of that.

TO READ/ EXAMINE: Just type examine then the thing you want to examine. Sometimes you might be reading a note, or you might be examining a pile of trash, so to speak.
