I thought that seatbelts were blamed for shifting road accident
fatalities from passengers to pedestrians?

Can't see the logic in that. You get run over by a car, then the driver is
projected through the windscreen & lands on top of you?

According to paramedic daughter, serious injuries in RTC's are much lower
since the introduction of seat belts, air bags, crumple zones etc. The
older medics tell harrowing tales of RTC injuries rarely seen these days.
Compulsory crash helmets have reduced motorcycle fatalities, but not serious
injuries.

Just as well really, they need the time saved to deal with all the drunks &
druggies these days.
