They were all afraid of burning. Additionally,
there wasn't any nomex or carbon fiber back then and everything was tubular
frame, which in a serious crash would crush in and spear the driver and fuel
tank. Having seen a car go up in a high octane fire (really intense
heat), if I were driving back then, I don't think that I would wear a
belt. Moss would have suffered much less injury if he were strapped in,
however, if he were, and the car caught fire, he would have been a
goner.

True that!
A lot of them avoided the belts...and some of
them paid the price dearly.
The spectator and course worker deaths were
particularly grisly...

Belt up? Or not ? on purpose ? such as their flat earth thinking produced that they?d be thrown free from the gasoline projectile they were piloting.
Off road into a culvert or ditch? Upside down? All a part of the thrills.
And you didn?t need to be a driver to suffer those thrills - The hay bales and snow fences didn?t protect the crowds inches from their favorite drivers.
