Man Gets Stuck In Seatbelt

by Kat George

The man in the following video is a master of very, very calmly freaking all the way out. I don't think I've ever seen anyone freak out without actually physically looking like they're freaking out until now. Stuck in a seatbelt in a car, the man calls himself "hydrophobic", while managing to stay pretty cool and collected despite choosing an odd time to declare himself water-fearing. Sure, he probably meant claustrophobic, but it's funnier to think he used the correct word because then, rather than being wrong, which is boring, he's making a really irrelevant non-sequitur at a traumatic junction, which makes him a potential comic genius. He's like, "OMG I'M STUCK IN THIS SEATBELT AND ALSO BTW I'M AFRAID OF WATER AND I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO TELL YOU GUYS BUT NOW YOU KNOW, SO OK, LET'S GET OUT OF THIS MESS."

My main question about this video, however, is how the hell did this guy get stuck in the first place? He appears to be lassoed by the belt, so in what manner did he put on his seat belt that caused him to be looped into it in such a way? The two women (one helping, one filming) he appears to be with find the situation just as amusing as I do, and the one trying to help him untangle seems equally as baffled as me as to how he got in there in the first place.

Watch and giggle at this poor man's plight below:

This should probably be a PSA for getting stuck in seat belts, because apparently this is something a lot, that happens to maybe different types of people, like this girl, whose friends would rather call 911 than cut her out of a "brand new seat belt" themselves:

Or this kid, who, in a very Dumb and Dumber moment, got his braces stuck to his seat belt:

Or this nerd, who somehow trapped himself:

See! Seat belts are actually DANGEROUS. (If you can't sense my tone I'm being sarcastic, clearly all of these people have one thing in common and that's that they don't know how to use a seatbelt.)
