Ok I may not make any friends with this statement, but who the hell doesn't wear their seatbelts these days? In a mild accident the seatbelt can be the difference between breaking your windshield with your face, broken bones, and other significant injuries versus some whiplash and a belt rash.

A friend of mine survived a horrible accident with his dad because of his seat belt. They went off an embankment. His dad didn't make it, but he did. He's fine now, but had he not been wearing it, he would most likely have died with his father.

Besides, have you seen what an air bag will do to you if you're not belted in?

I'll take seat belt damage over thrown about/from the vehicle damage any day. What were the circumstances of your grandpa's accident?
