We have a few decades of statistics that tell use that wearing a seatbelt and not getting flung out of a car during an accident is much saver than getting stuck in the car. http://www.politifact.com/rhode-island/statements/2011/jul/1...

Seatbelts save lives, it's a fact you can't get around. When they developed and tried them, they realized how good seatbelts are and decided that every car should have them, not patent fee for any manufacturer.

Or just don't buy an electric car...
