Uh, no. It's not. Seat belt statistics are gathered from every crash. Supposedly. Therefore after my personal life experiences I've come to the conclusion that the stats are BS and doctored to fit an agenda. Period. That's not trying to prove a negative. That's stating my beliefs.
Must we go through this again? You can only count injuries that do happen. If an occupant does not sustain any injuries then you don't really know why those injuries didn't happen. Maybe seatbelt, maybe not, but you can't really know. THAT is trying to prove a negative.
Considering that insurance companies are the biggest proponent of seatbelt use and laws, and that they exist to avoid paying out money they take in, then their statistics that say that seatbelt use saves more people than it harms must be pretty compelling, because I have a difficult time believing in some vast conspiracy where the insurance industry would try to make people get more injuries.
