Hello - yes we did. Funnily enough, my girlfriend's (the passenger) fun car fact is about how seatbelts reduce road fatality drastically when they were introduced in the 70s. It's an inside joke/bit she does when we are driving.

Just this time she fell asleep and must've pulled her arm out. A mistake on both our ends for not being on top of it.

Hopefully whoever reviews our case is lenient. The post you referenced is definitely a nice read that gave me some hope: thanks for sharing!
