SEAT BELTS - FRONT - BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
06/26/20051
 I was sitting in the passenger seat of a rented chevy impala. i intended to lean my arm on the center console, but forearm accidentally touched the seatbelt buckle (which i had already fastened). my forearm was pinched into the seatbelt buckle causing a one inch square blood blister and bruising. it was not a serious injury, but did hurt nonetheless. and, i think it would have hurt a child or ederly person more.
