They’ve made a point to add seat-belts recently.
But people are still insisting they screw all the benches down. They already put an end on this discussion, saying that’s not an option, but people won’t shut-up about it…

It’d be a subtle addition to the joke if the C++ side didn’t have seatbelts.

The C++ side gives you what you need to create your own seat belt: spools of razor wire and clippers to remove the sharp edges (but no gloves). If you cut yourself, it’s your own damn fault. Real developers have discipline.

As a not-a-developer, this sounds like my understanding of C, rather than C++

In practice, I tend to agree. It’s easier to avoid shooting yourself in the foot with C++, but it’s still just waiting for you to screw up.
I’m mainly getting at Undefined Behavior (UB), which both C and C++ have plenty of. This article from Raymond Chen has some excellent concrete examples: devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20140627-00/?p…
