Airbags :: Car accidents

Crash Your car just smashed into the car mature in front of you at a speed of 35 mph. The whole front of your car is smashed but luckily your head isnt, thanks to the airbag deploying. This scenario happened all over 2.9 million times through August, 1998. Airbags significantly reduce the risk of being killed in a crash. The risk of being killed, if you realize your seatbelt on, is reduced by 26% and 32% if you dont kick in a belt on and the airbag goes attain. Airbags also reduce the risk of serious head injuries by 75% if utilise with a shoulder and lap belt. Yes, airbags save lives, but they have also been known to seriously hurt or kill people, especially kidskinren. Since 1990, about 113 deaths have been ca apply by airbags inflating in not serious accidents. 51 of these deaths were children, most of whom were not using a seat belt. Small children and airbags dont mix. Children shouldnt be in the front seat because the force of the airbag is usually too much for them. Nev er put a rear facing child seat in the front seat of the car. If the airbag goes off, the seat will be pushed forward and the child may get squeezed between the back of the seat and the airbag. Children are less in all likelihood to be killed in a crash if they are in the back seat. If someone must put a child in the front seat, they may want to have an on/off switch for the airbag installed on the passenger side. On/off switches are used to prevent the airbag from going off in an accident, but they arent recommended for most people. You only need an airbag switch on the drivers side if your legs are too short to reach the pedals and have your torso 10 inches away from the counselling wheel. Passenger side switches should only be used if you always have to have a small child or infant sit in the front seat because they have a medical problem and need to be watched constantly. Airbag switches can be used incorrectly. You can forget to turn the airbag back on and jeopardize the saf ety of yourself (the driver) or the passenger.Most people wont need an on/off switch because there is a proper and improper way to sit when you are driving. You should always sit 10 or more inches away from the steering wheel.
