Why specifically is it unsafe to restrain two people in one car seat belt?

Because the seat belt is designed to accommodate the average weight and physical size of only one person. It is anchored to the car and made of material that is intended to resist a particular amount of force during a collision. If the weight inside the seat belt is too high, it may give too much or even break.

The length of a seat belt when fastened around a person is intended to prevent the person's body from impacting the other parts of the car, such as the seat in front or the dashboard. If the seat belt is lengthened, such as when securing two people, the person in front is going to be closer to other points of impact inside the car, and injury is much more likely.

The shape of a seat belt is designed to hold at particular points on your body. The lap belt is intended to go across your hip bones, to hold it steady in an accident. The shoulder belt holds across the chest to keep you in place. Those parts of your body are strong and can handle the stress of impact much better. If you have more than one person in a seat belt, the belt is not going to cover those areas properly. Also, too much room inside the belt's "cage" allows your body to move around too much during impact and can increase injury, especially to limbs.
