Many restraint problems aren’t obvious at first—especially when the focus is on getting medical care. In Eloy, drivers and passengers may experience restraint issues that later raise questions like:
- The belt wouldn’t properly lock during sudden braking or impact
- The retractor spun out slack instead of holding the occupant
- The belt locked at an unusual angle, increasing strain on the neck or torso
- The restraint mechanism appeared damaged after the collision
These facts matter because seatbelt-defect cases often turn on what happened inside the vehicle during the event—not just the fact that a crash occurred.
