Seat belts do hold a person in place for the front of the car to mash into them 
I imagine since the advent of air bags not too many people make the trip out the front anymore. I figure the germans don't like glass floating around in accidents when conditions are already tough for the occupants. I worked as an EMT for a year which was interesting. People spill out of seatbelts when the cars tip.

1. Airbags do not keep drivers and occupants from being ejected from their cars;
2. Seatbelts do keep drivers and occupants from being ejected;
3. Drivers and occupants do not "tip out" of seatbelts;
4. Rollover crashes produce the most ejections (think of the centrifugal force generated when a car rolls at high speed: you couldn't hang on to the steering wheel if your life depended on it, which it does if you don't have your seatbelt on)
5. Mortality rates go way up for those who get ejected from their cars during a crash.
So, buckle up and keep the rubber side down!
