[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 4727839, member: 48469"] A higher percentage of fatalities were wearing seatbelts because a far greater percentage of the total population wear seatbelts. 90.7% in 2019 according to your link. Their use doesn't guarantee you'll survive an accident. They increase your chance of surviving an accident. And many of the non-wearer fatalities wouldn't have been fatalities had they made better choices. 2,549 of them according to your link. Also according to your link: [LIST=1] [*]If you buckle up in the front seat of a passenger car, you can reduce your risk of: [LIST] [*]Fatal injury by 45% (Kahane, 2015) [*]Moderate to critical injury by 50% [/LIST] [*]If you buckle up in a light truck, you can reduce your risk of: [LIST] [*]Fatal injury by 60% (Kahane, 2015) [*]Moderate to critical injury by 65% (NHTSA, 1984)" [/LIST] [/LIST] Tell all your friends to buckle up so I don't have to pay for their fatal, moderate or critical injuries all socialist-like.
