This is mainly because the asteroid belt is thinly distributed (i.e it has a low density). Half of it's total mass is contained within four large asteroids - Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Hygiea. As a result, there is only a small chance that a spaceship would be hit by an asteroid; it is estimated that there is less than 1 in a billion chances of such a collision occurring.
