What to Do When a Car Seat Belt Gets Stuck?

[AngelaMarie]

If the seat belt is pulled too quickly, it may get stuck; pulling it out slowly should resolve the issue. If it still cannot be pulled out slowly, the internal locking mechanism may be damaged. Below is an introduction to the working principle of car seat belts: 1. First, they tighten promptly, immediately securing the occupant firmly to the seat at the moment of an accident. Then, they gradually loosen, releasing the belt appropriately once the peak impact force has passed or when the occupant is protected by the airbag. This prevents excessive tension from causing rib injuries. 2. The seat belt pre-tensioner activates during an accident. As the occupant moves forward and the seat moves backward, if the seat belt is too loose, the consequences could be severe: the occupant might slip out from under the belt, or the belt may have too much slack and fail to tighten in time, unable to absorb part of the impact force as intended, thereby transferring the entire burden to the airbag. 3. The seat belt force limiter ensures that after an accident, the seat belt is already tightened under the action of the tightening device.
