I used to teach driver's ed to kids--I would hear all the time "a friend of a friend's 3rd cousin's uncle would have been killed if he wore a seatbelt."
I would ask what was the result of the crash and would hear he was paralyzed or was expected to walk in a couple of years.
The other excuse was " what if the car was submerged and they couldn't unlock the belt?". My reply was if you're knocked unconscious because you didn't buckle up, you drown.
In general, like Bumpy, I don't care about stupid people who don't buckle up.
You usually read about them in the paper.
Seatbelts can't prevent 100% of fatalities since some crashes are so bad that they are impossible to survive.
A few years ago, I came upon a relatively minor crash where the car was spun around. The police were standing in a ditch in 2 groups near the car. EMS was further down the ditch working on the live people in the other car. I knew immediately there were at least 2 fatalities. Both thrown through the windows as the car spun. The damage was at the rear and I doubt there would have been anything but bruises if they were belted in.
