The point of an air bag is to protect you from harm and even save your life in the event of a motor vehicle accident. And statistics show that overall they do:
- Between 1986 and 2001, air bags saved roughly 5,303 front-seat occupants.
- Of these, 85% were drivers and 15% were passengers.
- When used with a seat belt, an air bag is 75% effective in preventing serious head injury and 66% effective in preventing serious chest injuries.
However, when a car is equipped with a defective air bag, this tool for safety can quickly become a source of injury. When an air bag is defective, it may not deflate, trapping the individual inside the vehicle. Sometimes air bags go off in minor crashes causing serious eye injury. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, in 2001, defective air bags claimed the lives of 158 people.
