You are NEVER allowed to strap me in any more, MOM.

@ 25sec - "I'm gettin hydorphobic"... LOL... funny I don't see ANY water in the back seat.

This MUST be fake. There's no way a person could live as long as he has and be this dumb. He would have drowned looking up at a rain storm by now.
It's looking like leaning slightly to the left would let him out of the situation which must have been difficult to get him into. I don't believe for a second that he's really 'stuck' in any way. How is his elderly mom supposed to have strapped him in without clicking the seat belt in the first place?

No one claimed this guy is a genius.

Where I come from, it is pretty common in an older married couple for a husband to refer to his wife as "mom". He sounds like he's from Massachusetts to me, dunno if that convention is common there or not.

As for the seat belt, he's a large guy sitting in the back seat of a vehicle, where the width between belt and buckle can be pretty narrow. Could be that when he sat down with plenty of slack he could get the thing buckled, but then after riding the belt ratcheted down on him to such an extent that it placed him over the buckle so he can't just easily unbuckle it. The retractor that keeps the belt tight in modern cars often seems very overzealous to me, often making it hard to pull out some slack even when the car is parked and turned off.

...So, maybe you're right and the guy is just dumb as a post. To me, it sounded like a slightly grumpy/annoyed dude stuck under a seat belt that had locked in a very tight configuration that didn't allow for much movement. A situation made worse (to him) because it sounded to me like he didn't want to be in the car at all and the person who I interpreted to be his wife probably ordered him to wear his seat belt when he would have to just go without...

I dunno. I could certainly be wrong.

OK, then his elderly wife. That part wasn't important to my point.

Please note that it's NOT buckled at all. That's why I said it must be fake, he had to squeeze into it that way. it could be he put the belt around himself without fastening it, and the ratchet tightened on him, but who puts on a seat belt like that in the first place? If that's the case, he just needs to lean over a bit and it will come off.

By his age, he should know how to put on a seat belt, no?

@newtboy - whoops, good call on the belt NOT being buckled, I didn't see that clearly the first time. Yeah, leaning to his left sure seems like it should provide enough slack to get free... Now I'm wondering if alcohol may have been involved.

Since we`re all guessing; here is my guess: He was buckled up, but chose to put his right arm over the belt, so it didn`t cross his chest. When he unbuckled the seatbelt, the seatbelt went back, fastened around him, and when he started to move out of the seat, the retractor didn`t feed him any more belt, so he just thighten it.

And I guess he would have easily gotten out of there alone, but since he probably wouldn`t use it, he "blames" the one that forced him to buckle up.

I think he's through the center of a shoulder-style belt, probably from trying to use it as a lap-only belt and now it has retracted and won't let him loosen it.
