[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 549790, member: 484"] Ok, where were we, had to fix supper. Ah yes, the witnesses and the cop that investigated the scene. After a lot of background work, both were discounted. But what about the seat belt and the actual cause of the accident? Well that took someone from the outside. The truck was hauled back to the outfits building where it sat against the fence. The investigator went there to test the seatbelt. Almost every single time it was fastened, and then presure was put on the seatbelt, the buckle failed. It just plain turned loose. I find that interesting. In my years at UPS, everything on the truck that could wear out had a replacement schedule on it. Everything. Except seat belts. For those, there was no scheduled replacement policy. I even contacted GM and Ford for recomendations for replacement recomendations. And both declined to answer for fear of liability issues. Which means to me that there have been issues in the past, but if we make a comment to you, then we are on the hook. Anyway, will finish tomorrow. d [/QUOTE]
