Brooke Hogan Credits Herself, Seat Belts for Safety

We may mock Brooke Hogan, her wardrobe and her lack of singing ability endlessly.

But we're glad the wannabe singer was uninjured in this weekend's car accident. The Hollywood Gossip staff doesn't wish any physical harm on anyone not named Spencer Pratt.

We do wish, however, that Brooke would use the opportunity to espouse seat belt safety less as a chance for self-promotion and self-congratulations, and more as a chance to simply relay the important safety message.

We agree with Brooke Hogan: wear your seat belt! We don't agree with her need to credit herself so much for the suggestion, however.

Here's what she wrote on her MySpace page following the accident:

"As I turned on my car I clicked my seatbelt. As we pulled out onto the road, I looked over and realized my friend didn't have her seat belt on. I reminded her to put it on and the minute she clicked it, a car crashed into us...It was a horrible car accident, one that most would be severely hurt in, but we had our seat belts on and they kept us in tight."

Hogan's friend then added:

"... Brooke Hogans [sic] my hero, thank you for saving my life! Everyone wear your seat belts."
