Seatbelts

[Jim Gathmann <jim_gathmann@xxxxxxxxx>]

It should still keep you from being ejected through a
window in a roll over.

Sometimes seatbelts are a gamble (but then again,
anytime you get in a car, you gamble to some
extent...). I've seen crashes were the deaths would
not have occured if the passengers WERE ejected, and
vise versa.
