yep had two friends die and one other in the hospital for 6 months. None were wearing their seat belts. The driver was wearing his and he escaped without a scratch.
The car was struck at angle going through and intersection and the car was subsequently spun around which tossed everyone but the driver from the car head first through the windows.

also the lap portion of you seat belt should go over your thighs and not directly over your waist. Its there to keep you seated if the car flips over. Having it directly in front of your waist could cause injury to your back in hard stop.
I've never understood why seat belts from underneath the seat and across your
thighs were ever developed. The seat belt should be two seperate parts.
