- Airbags and Child Seats.
- Many cars have multiple airbags. ...
- Side airbags, fitted in the vehicle sides or the seats, are becoming common, and 'curtain' airbags that drop down in front of the rear seats are being introduced in some cars. ...
- Airbags inflate rapidly (and then immediately deflate), cushioning the occupants and preventing or reducing contact with parts of the vehicle likely to cause injury, such as the steering wheel or dashboard. In order to provide protection, airbags fully inflate in less than one second, expanding at anything up to 160 mph. ...
- Therefore, some simple rules are essential to ensure that maximum protection is provided by airbags and unnecessary injuries are avoided (it is sensible to follow these tips even if there are no airbags present).
- If there are side airbags, make sure that the child restraint does not rest against the door, that the child sits properly in the seat and does not lean close to, or against, the door or window. ...

- Introduction: Airbags Improve Automobile Safety.
- The Safety Advantage of Airbags .
- The development of airbags began with the idea for a system that would restrain automobile drivers and passengers in an accident, whether or not they were wearing their seat belts. The road from that idea to the airbags we have today has been long, and it has involved many turnabouts in the vision for what airbags would be expected to do. Today, airbags are mandatory in new cars and are designed to act as a supplemental safety device in addition to a seat belt. Airbags have been commonly available since the late 1980's; however, they were first invented (and a version was patented) in 1953. The automobile industry started in the late 1950's to research airbags and soon discovered that there were many more difficulties in the development of an airbag than anyone had expected. ... These technological difficulties helped lead to the 30-year span between the first patent and the common availability of airbags. ...
- In recent years, increased reports in the media concerning deaths or serious injuries due to airbag deployment have led to a national discussion about the usefulness and "safety" of airbags. Questions are being raised as to whether airbags should be mandatory, and whether their safety can be improved. How much does the number of deaths or serious injuries decrease when an airbag and seat belt are used, as compared to when a seat belt is used alone? How many people are airbags killing or seriously injuring? Do the benefits of airbags outnumber the disadvantages? How can airbags be improved? .
- As seen in Figures 1 and 2, airbags have saved lives and have lowered the number of severe injuries. These statistics are continuing to improve, as airbags become more widely used. Nevertheless, as the recent reports have shown, there is still a need for development of better airbags that do not cause injuries. Also, better public understanding of how airbags work will help people to make informed and potentially life-saving decisions about using airbags.

- The following press release is the response of ATT's Peter Byrne to the NHTSA position on used airbags: .
- , Chief Counsel, makes statements regarding recycled airbags which ATT believes to be incorrect and misleading. ...
- By design, airbags are engineered to withstand significant shocks. During development airbags are subjected to drop tests which expose the unit to shocks greater than the unit will see in a low speed collision. ...
- Seales said were true, then every vehicle on the road which has been involved in a minor crash in which the airbag has not deployed, may have to have its airbags replaced," adds Byrne. ...
- If there were any possibility that the airbag would be rendered inoperable by a low speed crash, car manufacturers would require that the airbags be replaced after such low speed collisions. ...
- ATT's testing directly compared brand new OE airbags against a randomly chosen population of undeployed, recycled airbag modules (of identical type). ...
- Testing on recycled airbags conducted by other organizations such as the Automobile Recyclers Association (ARA), and the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) have all shown similar results, further strengthening the case that undeployed recycled OE airbags are a safe alternative to new OE replacement parts. Reinforcing the above testing is field experience in Canada and the USA, where undeployed recycled airbags have been successfully used in car repairs for nearly 10 years. ...
- Recycled OE airbags, tested individually by ATT, are known as Re-Certified Airbag Modules, or RAM. Certified to perform as new, RAM offers additional reassurance, enabling car insurers, body shops and consumers to use recycled airbags with absolute confidence. ...
- (ATT) is a privately held company that has developed proprietary technology (patents pending) to scientifically test and re-certify recycled, automotive original equipment (OE) airbags. ATT's technology enables undeployed, OE airbags to be tested non-destructively, ensuring they meet the manufacturer's original specifications and therefore are safe to install in collision repair vehicles. ...
