Would not wearing a seatbelt in an accident only reduce medical damages not property damage to the car?

Please re-write your question so that it may be understood better.


Do seat belts kill?

If worn incorrectly (tucked under armpit for example) and a collision happens then yes you can die even wearing a seatbelt. The belt can press into a person's stomach hard enough to do damage (compressed lungs, burst intestines, pressure damage in general). Even worn properly people can regularly get cracked ribs in car accidents, however this is significantly less damage than would be incurred if you were thrown out of the car window as a result of not wearing a seatbelt in a collision. Seat belts can possibly decapitate you. As such can occur if a crash is violent enough. Luckily, most are not.


Do potholes threaten people's lives?

Yes they do. Many potholes are large enough to actually wreck a car that hits them, or at least severely damage it. Coming to a sudden stop when you've hit a huge pothole can kill you if you are not wearing your seatbelt and hit the windshield.
