Seat belts have been statistically proven to save lives. We had an accident last September and I firmly believe that had we not been wearing our seat belts, we would have gone through the windshield.

They save lives, as do car seats (if hooked up right).

I do believe they save lives. Statistics and experience make me believe this.

When I was a firefighter I went to some scenes where the seat belt helped and some where the person would have been totally dead if they were wearing one. So from that experience I say it can go either way.

I think my life has been saved twice because I was wearing my seat belt.

I was installing and using seat belts when our governor was in diapers. Now, she has, by decree, made it a $100 offense to not have the shoulder harness in it's proper place. She can kiss my ass.

yes the seat belts and the air bag.

They save more lives than they cost. But they're not perfect and there are accidents where a person would have been better off not wearing them. . The trick is to wear your seat belt but take it off right before impact when you can tell that it's the other kind of accident. ;)

actually, maybe it's that the last act that a dying person does is reach over and undo their seatbelt, hoping to escape and survive.
