And there are cases where that has happened. The odds are not with you w/o seat belts. Imagine being in a slow mover headed for water, you don't want to be buckled in at all.

I was a late user of seat belts, as I saw the 1st and 2nd incarnations were pretty bad. The manufacturers finally listened, even though they could never push through the three point harness system.

At least they got them for kids, although most of us Boomers survived without even a lap belt.
