I'd prefer people not die or get mangled but it does remind me that some forms of autism include touch oversensitivity. Is there a solution to that?

For real though, there are padded covers you can buy for seatbelts that might help. I am pretty sure I have seen people make their own, and an extra layer of clothing kr a blanket might help too.
Seatbelts are not one of my particular sensory issues, but in general with stuff I try to remind myself that some things are worth being uncomfortable for. It's an evaluation: how long will I be uncomfortable for, and how uncomfortable? What am I getting out of it? How hard would it be to reduce or eliminate this discomfort? Will I be able to take some time to collect myself soon?
