    The way I heard it the insurance companies lobbied for seatbelt laws.

    Something about if you die in an accident the payout could be larger than if you survived.

    Opposite for motorcycles and helmets. On a bike you aren’t eligible for the same death payout as someone in a car so it’s cheaper if you die.

    Again this is just how I heard it and I’ve never cared enough to actually look into any of this at all but on the surface and seems plausible.
