Slides About Airbags

Airbag. Since. Why airbags are so important? Statistics show that. How airbags work? The bag itself is made. Airbag injuries. Originally the airbag was a device developed for our safety and protection. Thank you for attention.

Since 1998, all new cars sold in the United States have been required to have airbags on both driver and passenger sides. Then came seat-mounted and door-mounted side airbags. Today, some cars go far beyond having dual airbags to having six, eight of even more airbags.

Statistics show that airbags reduce the risk of dying in a direct frontal crash by about 30 percent. From 1987 to 2015, frontal air bags saved 44,869 lives. 1.3 million people die in car accidents every single year and even more than that are injured or severely injured. An airbag that is installed and maintained properly can potentially save your life if you were to get into an accident.
