Wearing a seat belt in a car reduces the risk of a fatality among passengers by as much as 75 percent. First invented in the mid-19th century by English engineer George Cayley for use on his monoplane glider, the seat belt rapidly evolved from across-the-lap straps to the three-point model first made standard in Swedish vehicles in 1958. With fatal car crashes rapidly increasing in the United States, American engineers followed suit.
