My uncle was CHP for 30+ years. He said in all the time he was on the road, he'd scraped up plenty of bodies, but he'd never unbelted one. Not that people in seatbelts aren't killed - but it was his personal experience that he'd never seen one.

I grew up ALWAYS belted in. I can't even sit in a parked car unbelted without a conscious effort. It just feels wrong.
