I personally have never worked an extrication that the patient or victim's seatbelt was unbuckled. They have torn due the impact and even seen the tensioner ripped off the B post.

I think I was trying to make myself feel a little better that at least she did what she could to "protect" herself. I guess if it had torn they wouldn't have said she was unrestrained.

My dad was Mech Eng. Profossor for 45 years and a ME Consultant/Exp. Witness for about 30 of those years and still consults.
I used to help him test all kinds of stuff that had Mech failures for cases. I don't recall ever helping him with a seat belt failure. He wouldn't be hired if it was an obvious failure like a tear. Automotive it was mostly claims of failed air bag systems and brakes.
Most of his cases were 1000 Ways to Die kinda stuff. Lady cruising down I-55 and gets a bush hog blade to the head from guy cutting right of way. Log trucker stops along the highway to throw a cable over the logs and hits the high voltage power line.
