A Prius owner not wearing a seat belt, I'm not surprised he was killed.

I know a couple people who are alive today because they were not wearing their seat belts. One was ejected and ended up landing on the seat which was also ejected. If he and the seat had been ejected, he would have been cut in half by the seat belt. Another guy would have been decapitated by his windshield. I wear mine, but it makes me wonder whose odds are better, cause I know of many cases where the seat belt wearers were killed.

this kind of nonsense keeps popping up. my idiot kids said the same thing, they didn't want to be trapped in the car, etc. I would guess that 95% of the time you are much better off strapped in. if you want to take that 5% chance so be it. I get amused when I read about a death and they mention that the deceased was thrown out of the car.
when I worked in Cincinnati years back our office was on a corner that was accident prone. time and time again people, usually women, would come into the office after being involved in an accident and be somewhat banged up. I always made it a point to suggest that they sue the seat belt manufacturer as it obviously was defected. that shut them up really quick.
as I say one advantage to folks not wearing a seat belt is it helps thinning out the gene pool.
