What is the real reason for seat belts?

Studies have shown you are statistically safer restrained in the vehicle. Being safely "thrown clear of the accident" rarely happens. Most people who get thrown out of a vehicle in an accident, get killed. http://www.pp.okstate.edu/ehs/kopykit/SEATBELT.HTM Dec 10 04, 6:05 AM

Being thrown through a pane of glass is never a good idea. Now going at 40 miles per hour is even more stupid. Seat belts are also good for minimising muscle and spinal injury in crashes. Dec 10 04, 4:10 PM
