Their Aorta separated from their heart
Physically it would depend on the type of accident you got into.
Possibly nothing as the lap part of the belt is the most important,
but there's always the possibility of a severe twisting motion as one shoulder flew forward (with your head attached).
it probably wouldn't distribute the weight equally making more fatal. and you can get a ticket for it...it happened to me.
Their chances of a broken back significantly increase
It is much more dangerous to drive with your seat belt underneath your arm rather than have it over your chest. Also there is the risk of being pulled over and getting a ticket. Play it safe and wear your seat belt the correct way!
