I wouldnt have thought the seat belts needs to be fastened for the Airbags to go off. It would defeat the purpose. Airbag should work on crash detection sensors (Please correct me if i am wrong). Where did you get your percentages from? Your saying a car without seat belts is 30% less safe? I would say its a alot more than that. Seat belts save lives - thats why they are standard on cars.
