When I was 12 my dad T-boned a car that ran a red light. I still remember the seatbelt shaped bruise across his stomach. This was our first car to even have seatbelts (it was the 1960s). If it happened in our other car he would have died for sure.
Edit: haha I fixed the typo. My dad William the Conqueror laughed at all your comments!
When seatbelts were first implemented there was a rise in ER visits because of injuries. This made proponents of anti seatbelt car manufacturers tell the public that seatbelts were bad. It's because people were just being injured and not dying from car accidents as a corpse doesnt go to the ER.

Ouch. Better a bruised boob than a split skull though.
