On planes, belts are to prevent you getting thrown in to the ceiling during turbulence. That's why you're supposed to keep them on at all times.

Heart disease, possibly incurred from cocaine use, was his cause of death. The luggage hitting his head after the tire blowout was ultimately not the cause, though was initially reported that way.
