While driving on a long distance drive, my 6 years old daughter was in the rear left seat with her seat belt on. She pulled the seat belt all the way out to lay down and take a nap while restrained in the seat belt. While asleep she had taken her hand out of her seat belt and the seat belt was wraped around her waist. When she woke up, in order to free herself form the wraped seat belt, she unbuckled her seat belt while the seat belt was still wrapped around her, this is when the problem happend. The seatbelt's retraction system only retracted the seat belt in, making it tigher and tighter around her stomach. The retraction system did not let her loosen the seat belt. In further effort to free herself, she lifted herself and the seatbet became tigher around her stomach. I pulled along the highway to free her from the seatbelt, but the retraction system did not allow me to get the seat belt loose. I did not have any pocket knife with me to cut the seat belt. I finally flaged a motarist who had a pocket knife and cut the seat belt and freed her. The seat belt had become so tight that she had gotton injured all around her waist and stomach. If this had happend with a smaller child it could have easily kiled the child if not helped in time.
