I've never thought I couldn't be in a fatal accident..

those are good questions. they are fighting against your argument though!
people fear death because they don't want to die. dying sucks. you aren't alive anymore. being alive is much better than being dead. Just because you fear death doesn't mean you are "meant" to die. It just means that whenever you do happen to die, it will be unpleasant, because you will not be alive any longer.
You feel sorry for others when they die because they are dead. They aren't alive anymore. You won't see them ever again. Ever. This has nothing to do with whether or not the person was "meant" to die. It just happened, and you will never see them again. That's why you feel sorry for them. They don't get to see you anymore (or anything anymore) and you don't get to see them anymore.
That's why you should wear your seatbelt. Statistically, if you want to continue living, wearing your seatbelt is the best option. You never know when something random will happen and a seatbelt will save your life. It may hurt you, but you go with the odds. The house always wins.
