I believe it has has to a sudden jolt that activates the belt. I don't think that a sudden stop will do anything.

yes i understand. i pulled it quickly and i got nothing. the passenger side works though. and i had the dealership test it as well and it is not restricting. its my fault, one day i pulled it hard to test it and i heard something disassemble. and now its just not working.

Good thing you did that, instead of having it come apart during an accident...
