No.

Seatbelts keep you in the correct position before, during, and after a crash. The safety systems in a vehicle can not be designed to accommodate all possible positions, so the manufacturers make the assumption that you will

To look at it another way, if you are in a car traveling at 55 mph (about 90 km/h) which comes to a sudden stop, you have two choices:

1. Wear a seatbelt and keep your speed at the same speed as the car's, slowing as it slows. You will stay inside the roll cage and have greatly reduced injuries. The car will get hurt - you won't. (Not as much, anyway)

2. Get thrown through the windshield or side windows or get tossed around during a rollover. You're likely to die.

Note that seatbelts will give slightly during a crash. You will get serious bruising.

Pregnant women should wear their belts a little differently than normal, with the lap portion under their bellies.
