I would imagine most of us old gits survived a seatbelt-free childhood because:
C) If you didn't you couldn't post here to talk about it.

I started wearing them in 1981 after a trip through a windscreen on an old Mk2 Ford Zephyr, driver over cooked a bend smashed into a Volvo estate pushing that in to a Vauxhall Cavalier pushing them both about six foot.
It just felt like banging my head against a door, old toughened screen just shattered, luckily I got away with twelve stitches in one eyelid, four on the bridge of my nose and ten in my wrist where glass got under my watch strap, I lost sensation in my scalp for about ten months as the feeling gradually came back was the weirdest, half the time it is luck if you survived. :D

I would imagine most of us old gits survived a seatbelt-free childhood because:
A) there were fewer and slower cars on the road.
B) there was no safety blanket SUV available for those with a newly emerged embryo, which clearly needs a child seat and buggy larger than a 70s/80s family car for the doting parents to feel safe. That is, safe for the occupants and fuck everyone else.
