Seat belt?
Hi everyone. My question!
I was wondering that if you don't buckle up, would the air bag fonctioned advenant an accident. Cause if you think of it, the slightest hit hard enough to make the bag open would make you bent forward on the steering and the bag trap would swing open in your face, killing you for sure. L.G.R. |

Always a good idea to wear your seat belt especially with a vehicle that is equipped with an air bag. My opinion Glenn Beasley Chrysler Tech |

It would be open long before you got there -- that's the whole point. You also seem to think being hit in the face by the bag cover (I assume that's what you mean by 'bag trap') is more deadly than being hit over the head with the windshield... |

European regulations on airbags are different - that is why Euro airbags are smaller, they truly are supplemental restraints. US airbags must be able to act as primary restraints. This is why US airbags may be fatal to short people and to children, and it is why it is recommended if you are a short person that you get a medical release and have the dealer disconnect your airbag. Some trucks that have a single cab have passenger airbag lockout switches specifically to allow children to be carried in the front seat safely (assuming they wear a belt, of course) The air bag trap on the steering wheel is made out of soft plastic and would not kill someone impacting on it. Needless to say, if you AREN'T wearing a belt and get involved in a frontal collision where the airbag deploys, you are going to be in a lot more hurt than if you had the belt on. Expect many more bruises and possibly broken bones. Also, your probably going to be thrown sideways unless the impact is perfectly straight on. Ted |
