Seatbelts. Do they do anything?

[THEREALJOEYY]

I barely wear them but just died in a crash. Would it have protected me from dying or was that just for show

They save you if you put them on hold lmb to put them on

left mouse button hold on the seatbelt, and drag it to the spot where you lock it in (as if your aceually puttin it on in real life)

I know how they work just wondering if it was an actual feature or just for show

I have had a few crashes with the seat belt and i still die if it's above 50 or 60, but any slower than i just bounce off what i hit.

Yeah I just crashed in a head on collision at higher than 50 with the van. The technoviking hit me while I was passing the nivalen truck and I went flying hit the truck tipping it over and didnt die.

Yes. It stops you from dying, but only if you wear it.

Seatbelts are extremely effective in low-speed collisions.
I died A LOT doing less than 45 kph before seatbelts were added.
I have yet to die doing less than 45 kph since.

They will not save you in a high speed collision; the racing harness will help with that, but at high enough speed, death is certain.

Just for reference material and general knowledge:
There are 3 collisions to every accident.
There is the external collision between the vehicles,
then comes the collision of the occupants within the vehicle
and finally, the collision of the occupants' organs within the body.

A seatbelt will solve the 2nd collision, and slightly ease the 3rd collision.

This game takes inspiration from real life. Just like in real life, some people like you think seat belts are for show and should not use them no matter what.

They save you from lowspeed colisions

Roll cage + 4 point harness = near invincibility. I've gotten into major high speed accidents that caused half of my car to come apart and walked away. I don't think I've ever died with that set up, as long as I remember to buckle up.

to be honest i think that when you use the bucket seat and harness there is no collision that can kill you

I've seen death happen when hitting a tree around 160-190km/h with rollcage+bucket seats+harness in Satsuma.

You can die,with em but you have to be going very fast and its about those Gs you know

Short answer: yes the seatbelts actually help you survive. Offcourse it won't help when you fly into a tree at 200km/h.

When the rollcage, raceseat and harness is mounted you can pretty much survive anything.
