ROAD TRIPPINGTON Seat belt struggles may be a first world problem, but none of us can deny the struggle is real.

Theres the classic seat belt locks too easily, the less common seat belt wont retract and the worst ever seat belt folded in the guide and I might as well sell the car because it can never be fixed.

But a man named Clint has taken seat belt struggles to a new height with the loving help of his wife, Bonnie. And for me, this man has become an automatic folk hero, a legend in his own right. It doesnt hurt that Clint is a great name for a hero. (See Clint Eastwood and Clint Barton.)

Youll have to watch the video to see precisely how he is stuck in his seat belt, but I can tell you that he has very little wiggle room.

Everything comes farcical focus fairly quickly. Bonnie is laughing too hard to make any useful suggestions, and another passenger named Kelly (probably his daughter) is only helping us because shes filming the event as well as laughing her guts out. Meanwhile the dog in the back of the car looks slightly panicked.

Its a truly stranger than fiction scene that I would brush off as lamely contrived in a movie, but I find truly hysterical in real life. In fact, I laughed until I cried.

Bonnie reported in the video description that Clint did make it out of the seat belt, but she doesnt give any details how. I like to imagine he turned on his side, put his arms up and wiggled down until he was free.

The video already went viral on Facebook with almost 30 million views at the writing of this article, but the hysterical scene has now been posted to YouTube to hopefully rise to even bigger heights. My hero Clint deserves the recognition.
