While seat belts are required to be worn and save lives, there is a possibility that in some situations, such as accidents, they could stick or the person could not get it released in time to get out of the car, such as the car catching on fire or sinking into water.

There were 3 other people in the same car as the man who flew out. He was the only one who wasn't wearing his seatbelt. The other 3 people climbed out of the car with minor injuries. The one who wasn't wearing his seatbelt died later that night. So to answer your question, yes. People die from not wearing their seatbelts almost everyday.
