| On april 11, 2008 at approximately 8:00 p.m. i stopped at costco (west homestead, pa) for fuel. my wife was in the passenger side front seat with the seat belt on and my son was in the 2nd row passenger side seat with the seat belt on. the engine of my 2008 saturn outlook awd - xr was off. my son was watching a dvd on the outlook's ceiling mounted player. he decided to change the dvd and depressed the release button on the seatbelt (located to his left). the buckle released and hit him in the left side of his head at which time my son pulled down on the section of the seatbelt coming from the b post ceiling to reattach the belt buckle at which time the seatbelt made a loop round his head and tightened around his throat. he immediately said to my wife, mom, i think i have a problem here. she reached back and placed her hand between the seat belt and the front of his throat. there was only room for her to get her index, middle and ring finger in. my wife yelled your son is stuck, we can't go yet. i walked around to the passenger side of the outlook to see my wife holding the sealtbelt from getting tighter around my son's neck. i tried to pull down on the seat belt from the b post location, but the mechanism would not release the belt forward, only backwards into the housing (which would strangle my son). there was insufficient slack in the belt to permit me to side it over my son's head. i asked my wife to call onstar. she got a representative on the line who asked if we wanted her to call emergency responders. i told her that i was a firefighter certified in basic vehicle rescue and asked her to get a technical saturn expert on the line who could instruct me how to release the seat belt. onstar could not provide and expert. at that point my son started to panic. i had costco attendant, fred funaiock cut the seat belt at the floor level with scissors to release the belt from around my son's throat. onstar incident #1111608558. pictures taken. *tr | |||
