a highway patrol captain gave a safety seminar at my old job, and I still remember what he said about seatbelts - after decades on the highway, working countless crash scenes, he had only had to un-buckle one dead person from a crash. All of the other dead people in crashes were not wearing theirs.
My seatbelt did save me. My work van got T-boned by a semi that blew a red light (dumb American traffic light highway intersection), and my belt saved me from getting a shifter knob added to my abdominal cavity.
I mean, when 100 cars crash into buildings every day across the US, its going to be a pretty high number of crashes they’ve reported to in any municipality

Wear it, y’all.
Did they say what that number was?
1 out of 3, 1 out of 300…

The captain was talking about their personal experience, which would be a very different number than the total in the municipality
