OTOH, my wife is alive solely because she WASN'T wearing her seat belt, and she got this information from the paramedics who rescued her, broken pelvis and all. The driver fell asleep in a car which had been altered with a sunroof that fell short of safety specifications. When the car went off the road, the car rolled over. She was thrown out and broke her pelvis on landing. The car itself was squashed so badly that there was room for exactly ONE body, repeat ONE body, in the interior. Both she and the driver would have been very messily dead (think squashed tomatoes) if she had been restrained in place.
So don't try to sell me that seatbelts always save lives.
