I doubt a seat belt would've helped - that car was shortened by a few feet on the passener's side, so I'm sure it was narrowed pretty good too. As somebody mentioned, the passenger seat was likely where the driver's seat was supposed to be...

if he would have had a seat belt on he may have lived, or been injured but by the looks of things may have survived, the passenger seat was destoyed..however the driver seat would have not moved, the reason why he died was simple, he was basically thrown agianst the poll..why? because his seat belt was not on, and hey if he was wearing it would have helped im sure and possibly saved his life...the passenger seat would be crushed not moved, it is bolted to the floor and, yeah the seat may have moved a bit but theres a concul in the way, poor guy didn't stand a chance whithout his belt..

best wishes to his family.
