"The Vatican said Pope Benedict XVI greeted with a smile the news that a German citizen had filed a complaint against him for not wearing a seat belt in his popemobile."
The logic behind this is the same reason why riding a motorcycle can also get you to heaven more quickly. The reasoning is based on a loop hole for the requirements for getting into Heaven. You see many Christians see suicide as a type of murder, in God's eyes. Murder is a sin. Therefore the sinner is dying in sin and sent immediately to Hell for all of eternity.
The loop hole is that the Bible says nothing on engaging in more risky than necessary behavior on a daly basis. Therefore while premeditated suicide will bar you from Heaven, engaging in consensual high risk behavior will not. Motorcyclist have a fatality rate about 20 times higher than individuals driving four wheeled vehicle the rate is even higher if you do not wear a mass of closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam covered in a thin layer of plastic around your cerebral cortex. By dying faster you will be able to get to Heaven faster. And everyone knows Heaven is the best place in the universe.

Think twice before you buckle up, it may be state law but when you don't buckle you ride with Jesus.
