Seat belts are also a good idea - they tend to stop you impacting the steering wheel or flying through the windscreen. You can see clearly that this expired gent was not wearing his at the time of the accident.

Airbags are an option on pick-up trucks here in Thailand, and I've seen some fancy high end 2011 models that do not have them.
Something to think about if you buy one.
