I did not ask for qualifiers. A seatbelt does not eliminate body parts or full bodies from exiting a car.
The chance of a body part detaching from a body while a person is wearing a seatbelt is extremely small. Plus, since it would be something fairly lightweight, it would also do much less damage than the full body. Now, if an accident is bad enough that it detaches a person's body part from them while they are wearing a seatbelt, then it is highly unlikely that the person not wearing a seatbelt would have fared any better, and would likely have been ejected, causing a much larger projectile leaving the vehicle.
