"I can find claim after claim that oin fact seat belt jusage does reduce injury and mortality risk"

Nonsense. Seat belts increase injury by approx. 75 %

"Over half of all youths ages 13 to 19 killed as occupants in motor vehicle crashes are unrestrained"

No relevance. How many would have been killed if all of them were restrained? How many, if none? How many of the ones who were killed were left handed? How many had brown hair?

"In fatal crashes, 75 percent of passenger car occupants who were totally ejected from the vehicle were killed"

In FATAL crashes...how many percent of people who are NOT ejected from the vehicle are killed????
