srw - as horrible as this experience is, I’ll bet it has not only reinforced the practice of wearing seatbelts for the rest of his life, but will probably influence others to do the same who might not have been. Some good will come out of it.

mythmom has a valid point that I’d like to add on to. The delayed anxiety might also surface with your son. Might not happen right away because he’s so thankful to be alive, but over time, be open to words or behaviors indicating he’s having a hard time processing the experience.
