Ok, I can add one. My cousin was broadsided a long time ago, she was
not wearing a seatbelt and was able to jump into the passenger seat at
or near impact time. She believes she would be dead had she been
wearing her seat belt.


Still meaningless. She could have survived the initial impact but been
killed in subsequent car-getting-smashed-up-events.


But she didn't. I was just countering the counter of the examples of
people who didn't live but were wearing them.


Being loose in a
car is riskier than being belted in, regardless of orientation of
impact.


I am not trying to argue the issue, just giving an example.


One incident does not counter the stats for the population. She was
lucky.

I didn't mean to imply it did, I'm fully aware of statistics. And
agreed [to B].
