Ideally, you should wear your seat belts AND drive a car with airbags.
Between the two, seat belts are the more basic and important.
In the US, people tend not to wear seat belts and so manufacturers
modify the cars for that market (US airbags fire stronger so that they
get fully inflated earlier, so as not to push back a person without
seat belts: the point is to make people hit the airbag when it's
already started deflating). If you don't have an american car and you
don't wear seat belts, you are more likely to hit the airbag while
it's still inflating thus getting an even stronger blow (the harder
the accident, the earlier you hit the airbag). However a hard accident
without belts is unlikely to leave you alive, with or without
airbags.
