Nice, you conveniently left out “25 rail passenger or staff” in your claim there. Meaning the person at the very front of the train, that gets smushed with the truck. Even with that, the level of fatalities is 45x lower than road fatalities. All you’ve done here is prove my point.
Fatalities to rail occupants were extremely rare, with 7 collisions (out of 19,495) resulting in 11 rail fatalities. There were 5 separate collisions involving heavy vehicles which each caused one rail fatality, whereas one collision involving a light vehicle resulted in 5 fatalities 20 (another collision with a light vehicle resulted in one fatality).
So 7 collisions out of 19,495 resulted in fatalities. A rate of .03% fatality rate… without seatbelts.
Yeah, I’m gonna reiterate it. All you’ve done is prove my point.
Yeah you’re gonna need to start quoting your sources.

You have some major ego problems
Nice retort. Please come back with some evidence that supports your argument. You are the one claiming that trains need seatbelts.
it’s about bench seats
I made no such claim, I don’t even have a position, you’re arguing against yourself
