It's surprising that seatbelts have saved anyone at all, but that does seem to be the case.

There was a flight to Hawaii where the roof ripped off and everyone saved except for 1 airline stewardess: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloha_Airlines_Flight_243

> All the passengers were in their seats and belted during depressurization.

And the crash in SF where two people were ejected from their seats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asiana_Airlines_Flight_214

> Neither victim was using her seatbelt. It is likely that these passengers would have remained in the cabin and survived if they had been wearing their seatbelts
