Car crashes can jam seatbelt buckles.
Seatbelt restraint webbing can interfere with roof removal, entangle accident victims on the extraction scene and risk further injury. Trauma patients may need clothing removal so life saving measures can be applied. Scissors can accidentally cut victims or personnel - risking exposure to deadly blood viruses. Gloved hands can make it difficult or impossible to open safety sealed bags that contain medically sterilized products. Delays can cost lives.
