I once attended a talk by a LOE who claimed that 50% of the people he'd seen at traffic accidents who had not been wearing a seat belt had died. He wasn't amused when I told him that meant that 50% had lived.
When I took drivers training in the early 70's we were told that over 50K Americans died on the highways each year. Now it down to over 30K. Did crumple zones and seat belts have an effect? Sure. But the biggest single effect that no one addresses when talking about car safety has nothing to do with the car. They are called EMTs. When I started to drive the ambulance crews were extremely limited in what they were allowed to do. Basically stop the bleeding, stabilize a fracture and transport. EMTs were new and only in large metro areas. But today EMTs are allowed to do so much more to include starting IVs. And most often there are just a few minutes away. Plus add in cell phones where a lot of accidents are reported that much sooner.
But I regress, the real reason that cops want people to wear seatbelts (sorry to any LOE types out there) is so they don't have to walk the ditches looking for bodies.
