Front Seat Belt Buckle Assembly Problems of Chevrolet Impala

I was sitting in the passenger seat of a rented chevy Impala. I intended to lean my arm on the center console, but forearm accidentally touched the seatbelt buckle (which I had already fastened). My forearm was pinched into the seatbelt buckle causing a one inch square blood blister and bruising. It was not a serious injury, but did hurt nonetheless. And, I think it would have hurt a child or ederly person more.
