Seatbelts are important, and more so in older cars, which have hard surfaces and tough materials in their interiors, stuff which could easily injure you in the event of a crash. If, however, you are wearing your seatbelt, you stand a much better chance of pulling through.
The Russian driver in this video is spectacularly ejected out of his Lada, as his door is opened during a side crash with another car. He walks away unharmed, but disoriented and very scared, as one would expect, after having gone through a rather traumatic experience, just seconds prior.
Also, the car with the dash mounted camera, which had captured the event, is very close to being rear-ended, and has to move forward, to avoid the crash - they almost run over the ejected driver. Speed is also an issue here, and especially when you are approaching a crowded junction, lift off the gas, regardless of the fact that you may have right of passage.
