Granted the belts will help to hold you and the seat in place however not everyone will use the full belt 100% of the time. And a lab belt on it's own will not keep you in the seat if the seat breaks loose from the floor. I know! Had an older car that got hit in the rear and it only had lap belts. Tore the seats right out of the steel floor and flipped my friend almost out of the car. If I had not had the steering wheel in my hand I would have been in the back of the car like my friend was. As it was I was pushed so far back I could not reach the brake to stop the car for over 2 blocks.
Trust me it was no fun AT ALL!
