Fulton said, "We don't know for sure if it would have made any difference in this crash but what we do know is being ejected is very dangerous situation.We do know that seatbelts save lives. Can people die in a car crash with a seatbelt on? Sure they can, and they do but we know that the chances of surviving a crash go up drastically just by putting a seatbelt on."
