A video making the rounds shows the significance of a seatbelt on passengers inside a car. A YouTube video, entitled Crash Test – Belted vs Unbelted Passengers, shows four crash test dummies in a car which is speeding at 40 km/hour. The moment the car crashes, the crash test dummies who were wearing a seatbelt, in front of the car, are instantly restrained and airbags cushion their impact. Why you should wear seatbelt when sitting the rear seat: — Porinju Veliyath (@porinju) Former Tata Sons chairman Cyrus Mistry and a co-passenger, who were killed in a car crash on Sunday, were not wearing seat belts, a police officer said after a preliminary investigation.

More than three out of four people who are ejected during a fatal crash die from their injuries, the study adds. Mistry was re...
