“July 2017 I was a passenger in my own vehicle and me and my driver were both wearing the seatbelts, that at impact released and he was ejected out of the door that had opened on impact and in the spin in the air was ejected out of the car, I hit my head on the dash, both seatbelts were faulty, it was difficult when putting them on to get them to grasp, you would have to repeatedly and with alot of force over and over again until it would grab, we both had gotten the seat belts to engage but on impact they instantly released”
