Stark contrast to the reaction most people had to the invention of seatbelts in cars.

Honestly, they are compared a lot, and while seat belts should be encouraged, I don't think they should be mandated for adults.
Unlike masks, you're only going to hurt yourself.
Then again I strongly believe in the right of any adult to end their own life, even if they're physically healthy, or it's not their life.

Absolutely wrong. Seatbelts prevent people from turning into projectiles as well, which most definitely can harm other people.

In the event of a crash, a soft gooey human is probably the least likely object that flies out of that car to seriously injure someone else, and if that gooey human hits anything the car is made of first, the gooey human loses and is just further bruised against things harder than a human.
Can you point me to a single instance of someone being injured or died because the corpse of another human, and not hard metal, plastic, or glass was launched out of the vehicle and managed to hit them?
Because that seems like a cartoonish outcome of a crash that's high speed enough to do so. Like one in a billion, about as likely as being next to a car crash and being killed by the shrapnel of the used gum that was under the seat.

They don't need to leave the vehicle to hurt someone else. https://youtu.be/mKHY69AFstE

Fair enough, I concede the point when others are in the car.
