fish Seat Belts

Don't know about you, but I find the seat belts in light aircraft to be a right pain, especially the main strap in the old Stressna where it's fixed (not inertia reel), severely restricting movement.

Yes, I know that's the general idea, and no, I am not contemplating going without!

But out of curiosity, are there any cases where the seat belt in a light aircraft has actually prevented injury? I find it hard to imagine them being of any use except in a slow speed ground collision, or are they actually effective?
