So if there is an impact of some sort you are restrained to your seat, therefore minimizing injury.
AnswerSimple. It's called inertia.In airplanes they are to keep you in your seat in case of severe turbulence or... the plane takes a nose dive (you don't want to be at the bottom of a pile of people thrown to the back of the plane when you crash, do you?)In cars, it's even simpler. You are moving along at say, 45 miles an hour, and hit something that brings your car to a dead halt.... however your body (and anything unsecured in the car) will keep moving at 45 miles an hour until it hits something that makes it stop. Wouldn't you rather that something be a seat belt and not the windshield that will slice your face up like salami?AnswerSeat belts are used in cars and airplanes because if there is a crash, you won't fling forward and crash any part of you body. You might move slightly forward, but you won't crash you head with a bang.

When were seat belts first used in airplanes?
I can't find a definitive answer, but the first recorded use of a seat belt in an aircraft was by Adolphe Pegoud, a French aviator, and one of the first to accomplish a loop. This was in 1913 and the first seat belt probably coincided with this feat. (Pegoud also became the world's first Fighter Ace.) According to Wikipedia, seat belts weren't commonly used in aircraft until the 1930s. --- The seat belt, for primary use in airplanes, was first created by Seth H. Stoner. He was in the Navy during World War II. He was a Lt. Commander based in Washington and primarily focused on how to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities of pilots taking off and landing on aircraft carriers. He worked with a team and the seat belt was the result of their work. The seatbelt did not appear in cars until later in the 1950's.
