These do a couple of things. First, they physically restrain you during a crash – that’s the big one. They’re designed to stretch a little bit to spread out the force of the impact over a larger area of your body. They also keep you positioned correctly in the seat, so you don’t hit things inside the car, like the steering wheel or windshield, or end up partially ejected. Newer ones also have pretensioners which tighten up instantly in a collision and load limiters to reduce the force on your chest. Basically, it's a primary safety device. Think of it as the first line of defense. Airbags work with seatbelts, not instead of them. The seat belt holds you in place so the airbag can do its job effectively. Without a seatbelt, you’re basically flying around inside the car, and that's never good. It’s part of the whole passive safety system - everything designed to protect you without you having to actively do anything. It's huge. It’s literally the difference between walking away from an accident and sustaining serious injuries, or worse. The seat belt acts like a shield, distributing impact force. You’ll notice if one's damaged – it'll either be torn, frayed, the latch won't work smoothly, or it won’t retract properly. Even a seemingly small issue should be addressed right away. You can find replacement seat belts pretty easily, and places like Fixparts Online have a good selection. It’s one of those parts where you really don’t want to cut corners.
