Seat Belt Kills Woman.

From this article:

As she and Hutson drove down a steep hill, officials believe, the current of rising floodwaters swept her car 100 feet off the road. The car stopped just short of Stuart Creek, which swelled 6 feet above the road as about 10 inches of rain fell before sunrise, said Matt Tatum, an official with the Henry County Department of Public Safety. The creek normally passes under Meeks Road, but Wednesday it submerged Fuller's car.

When the car was discovered about 5:30 a.m., Fuller, of Eden, N.C., was dead, still wearing her seat belt.

Would she have gotten out and survived if she wasn't required by law to be shackled in?

[Tangentially related story:]
Lentz, who was wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Kraig Troxell, Sheriff's Office spokesman.

A 13-year-old rear-seat passenger, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the SUV. The juvenile was airlifted to Inova Fairfax Hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries, Troxell said.

Another 13-year-old, who is Lentz's daughter, was riding in the back seat and suffered minor injuries. She was not wearing a seat belt. A 19-year-old, seated in the front seat with seat belt fastened, was also injured. Both were treated at Loudoun Hospital Center at Lansdowne, and released.

In other words, 100% of the people not wearing a seat belt in that wreck survived. Only 50% of the people who WERE wearing a seat belt survived. Yet we are prohibited from playing the odds.
