SEAT BELTS:FRONT:WEBBING
MY CIVIC COLLIDED WITH THE SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH. THE LAP COMPONENT OF MY SEATBELT ENGAGED ALLOWING ONLY MINOR BRUISING/CUTS TO MY KNEES WHICH HIT THE DASH. THE SHOULDER BELT, HOWEVER, DID NOT ENGAGE CAUSING MY CHEST TO SLAM INTO THE STEERING COLUMN CAUSING A DEEP CHEST CONTUSION. MY INSURANCE CO'S APPRAISER "TESTED" THE BELT BUT CLAIMS IT CATCHES WHEN TUGGED ON. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP CLAIMS SEATBELTS ARE TO KEEP YOU IN THE CAR, NOT TO PREVENT YOU FROM HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL/DASH/WINDSHIELD.

MY DAUGHTER (DRIVING) AND MY NIECE, COMING FROM HIGH SCHOOL IN HER 1995 HONDA CIVIC ENTERED A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF HIGHWAY, WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SWERVED THE LEFT. SHE OVER COMPENSATED AND DROVE THE CAR INTO A DIRT DITCH/EMBANKMENT. THE CAR THEN FLIPPED OVER A DRIVEWAY AND LANDED ONTO ITS WHEELS BACK IN THE DITCH. THE DRIVERS' REAR TIRE AND PASSENGER'S FRONT TIRE WERE DEFLATED BY THE IMPACT OF THE CAR HITTING THE GROUND. THE FRONT SPOILER AND PASSENGER'S WHEEL WELL WAS KNOCKED COMPLELY OFF THE CAR DUE TO THE IMPACT INTO THE DIRT EMBANKMENT. THE AIRBAGS IN THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SIDES FAILED TO DEPLOY.MY DAUGTHER SUBSTAINED CUTS ON HER NOSE AND THE SIDE OF HER FACE WHICH REQUIRED EIGHTEEN STITCHES TO CLOSE.MY NIECE GOT A BUMP ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD .THANK GOD THEY WERE BOTH WEARING SEATBELTS AND DIDN'T RECEIVE FURTHER INJURIES.
