While I'm sure these incidents exist, I doubt that there are "many, many
instances". Especially since I hear and read every day of
examples where everyone was killed save those properly belted in. This is
especially important for children.
I wear my belts for safety, comfort and to assist in driving fast around
corners- when belted in securely, I have more precise control over the
wheel etc when I am close to breaking the tires loose on a fast turn!
I think the fact that race and other competative drivers are belted in
speaks volumes about the wisdom of proper safety restraints.
PS. I am NOT a fan of air bags as employed on US cars. They did F*all for
Diana's crew for example.
