I'll add a bit of morbidity to the conversation. Last summer my 21 year old niece was in her traffic lane about a 100 yards from her parents (my brother's) driveway on a modern two lane highway when another driver going 83 mph (per his cars onboard computer) in the opposite direction crossed the c/l hitting her off-center at the left headlight and left front wheel. She died instantly. Her car's air bag deployed and her 3 point was hooked up. No she wasn't on her phone texting.
I think you can forget laying down in the seat in a real world accident, it'll happen too fast. Had the other driver been running the legal 60 mph speed limit, perhaps she'd have had a chance.
I'll continue to ponder the best solution for my trucks safety belts.
