But I do worry a bit about dying in a car accident, it's why I wear my seatbelt, drive safe, try to drive defensively.

Adding both those risks together still is a higher risk than before...

So just to be clear: wearing your seatbelt will increase your chances of death-by-falling-coconut. Or Ebola. Take your pick.
The risk of dying is 100% for everyone alive.
But the risk of dying by having your entire body break down in uncontrollable bleeding is substantially less than 100%, and I for one would like to keep it that way.
