I was in a car wreck about 6 years ago. I was sitting in the back seat with my cousin going through a hilly/twisty road in Pennsylvania (like there are other kinds there), we spun out on ice, and went through a guard rail. Me and my parents (who were in the front) were all wearing seat belts and got out with a few bumps and scrapes. My cousin sitting next to me? Wasn't wearing one and he was hospitalized with several fractures, a concussion, and a dislocated shoulder that he got from essentially slamming against the roof and sides of the car (which didn't happen to me or my parents because interestingly, we were wearing our seat belts).
So yeah, I never forget to buckle up anymore after that, personally.
