I'd like to think imgurians were a bit more rational than your average person, but voting down my comment belies that fact, yes of course it's a misleading statistic but it is of course true, that's why it's interesting.
... and then you put in the numbers "how many have been wearing a seatbelt and no car accident happened" and look who is represented "accordingly" in each chart...
k, thanks, told him. Finds it on the one hand overdramatic to point to the bystanders and then again necessary to point it out - as in many cases the "guilty one" has much less direct problems.
the ad itself is all about "people around the accident that did nothing to cause the accident yet their little mistakes (& unawareness) made it worse during the worst case: someone else effecting you directly with their actions" Would "accident victim" describe it much better? I mean, _right before_ one becomes a victim? (and no, I'm not talking about the paramedic, just the intention of the ad)

Statistically more people die in car accidents wearing seatbelts than not.

#2 my friend doesn't get it - "three dead in this vehicle" while 3 of 4 people used seatbelts? And only one seatbelt user survived?

Loose items (like a person not strapped in) in a car during a crash will fly around and hurt you

Definitely overdramatic. But still it has a point
