Why do seatbelts stop when you pull them hard?

EDIT: I understand that it’s supposed to be for safety. I’m asking because I’ve only experienced the stopping mechanism when I pull. I’ve hit the brakes very abruptly before but nothing. Should I get it looked at?

Because that is literally their function – to stop you from suddenly lurching forward and pulverizing your skull against the windshield.
