I've been in the fire dept for 14 years
Countless training classes at various fire academies (nj, ny, pa etc)
Pursued a degree in fire science
Seen tons of car accidents
Been involved in many extrications
And been in two recent nasty car accidents
I have yet to see a situation where the seat belt caused the person to die.
I have yet to see a car explode/ burst into flames like in the movies.
Every instance I have seen where the occupants have not worn seat belts have always been hurt bad..... or died. I've seen people ejected from cars.
For me, I will ALWAYS wear a seat belt and anyone who gets in a car with me must wear a belt (I realize that someone is going to crack a joke about getting in a car w/ me etc)
