When you stop the car quickly, your arm goes out in front of whoever is in the passenger's seat.

My mom does this, even when I'm belted in. I always thought it was weird but now, almost instinctively, I do it too.

My dad does it as a joke, and he says, "I just saved your life". But he does it all the time. :lol:

I have done that on occasions in the past, but not in a long time - I think I have only done when unexpected danger is possible type of thing.

...that term is new to me also.

Yea, my mom used to do it. Must be instinctual, because no arm is going to stop what a seatbelt cannot.

No and I've never had it done to me. But then again I've never been in a situation where a sudden stop was necessary.
