You are 30 times more likely to be ejected in a crash when you don't wear a seat belt. When a person is ejected, they are 75% more likely to die. That's right. Your chances of living after being ejected in a car accident are 1 in 4.
Not. Good. Odds.
Wear the fucking belt.
And as far as I know, it doesn't say whether she was wearing one or not, but I bet you 10:1 she wasn't. Goddamn shame, too. Rest In Paradise Maria.
