I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH LAST NIGHT AND HAD TO STOP ABRUPTLY TO AVOID A DEER. I WEIGH ABOUT 220 LBS AND THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE BROKE. THIS ALLOWED THE BELT TO UNFASTEN. LUCKILY I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING AND DIDN'T REALLY NEED THE BELT BECAUSE OF THE SLOW SPEED AND THE FACT THAT NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN A MORE SEVERE CRASH, I COULD HAVE SUFFERED SIGNIFICANT INJURIES OR DEATH. I WONDER HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS. I HAVE THE OLD PART IN MY POSSESSION IF YOU WANT TO INSPECT.
