The seat belt is to prevent you from being thrown through the glass and body/frame of the vehicle. Because that's generally what kills unseatbelted people in a wreck. A motorcyclist will be thrown from their vehicle if hit but is much less likely to hit that vehicle at 70mph. That's why you dress for the slide so to speak. It's about how you land as much as anything. And when you're inside a vehicle and being tossed around you are basically a reverse pinata.
