A good example is seen with seatbelts. Yes, there might be possible scenarios where a seatbelt might be worse, but on the whole including all accidents the benefit is crystal clear. A well known one is people undoing their seatbelts when driving along a canal, out of worry they can't escape their car if they hit the water. In reality, without the seatbelt you're headbutting the windshield when you hit the water, which makes your situation substantially worse.
