What are the benefits of Airbag supplemental restraint systems?
Airbags are beneficial in helping to reduce serious head, chest, facial and other injuries and in lowering fatality rates. The Airbag, while a significant advancement in injury and fatality reduction, is not designed to be a substitute for safety belt use. Safety belts help to secure occupants in all kinds of collisions and can keep an occupant in position to receive the greatest potential benefit from an Airbag system in frontal, near-frontal or side collisions.
