My own major crash 4 years ago left my vehicle looking not a whole lot better than this, and I thank God I was wearing my seatbelt (and had airbags, and was driving a German car).

I have seen many dead people, and those nearly dead, from being ejected from the vehicle. It isn't a pretty sight.

You have a 40% higher chance of living while wearing a seatbelt than not wearing it.
