It was common where I grew up well into the 90s for people to go on about how seat belts “trap” you in a car during a wreck… as opposed to flinging you from it to die on the road instead, I guess?
One of my close friends from elementary school was a good argument for seatbelts. She lost her Dad when he was ejected from his Jeep while off-roading, and it rolled over him
I am personally a good argument for seat belts. I nearly died in an accident because I wasn’t wearing one in the back seat. Luckily, I bounced off on the driver’s seat, breaking half of my ribs in the process, instead of being ejected from the car.

My elementary school best friend’s father was one of those people.
