the problem with saying that "in a crushable car you should not wear your
seat belt so that you can be thrown out" is that you still have to
arrange to get thrown out if you have an accident, and more, that you
don't get thrown into something even worse (like a tree, another traffic
lane, etc.). my father used to say, "never argue with anything bigger than
you" whenever we had the choice of running out in front of a truck or
waiting a bit longer. that is, quite unfortunately, the price we pay for
driving small cars (and motorcycles and bicycles). the only solution is
safer cars.
