I WAS INVOLVED IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT TRAVELING GOING AROUND 20 MPH. MY JEEP PARTIALLY ROLLED OVER AND I WAS EJECTED, BECAUSE MY SEATBELT DETACHED. I INJURED MY HIP AND BACK AND GOT A 4" LONG DEEP CUT ON MY ELBOW. IF MY SEATBELT HAD HELD ME IN MY JEEP, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN INJURED.

REAR SEATBELTS WEARING THROUGH FROM RUBBING THROUGH EXIT FROM RETRACTOR HOUSING. THIS APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY FLAPPING OF THE BELT WHEN THE TOP IS REMOVED AND VEHICLE IS MOVING. *AK
