Helmut Lipfert describes in his book how he got lost on the Eastern Front and had to land his bf109 G in a field to get directions from some peasants. He then took off again but forgot to put on his seat belt. He subsequently crashed into a building (I think he ran out of fuel) and what saved him was that he was not wearing a seatbelt as he was flung from the wreckage.
