Describes automobile air bags and their features.
AUTOMOBILE AIR BAGS
Air bags do not inflate when cars go over violent bumps or potholes in
the road or when bumpers hit other bumpers or posts at low speeds. Nor do all
air bags inflate when automobiles brake suddenly, as in a panic stop. The bags
are designed to inflate only in moderate or serious frontal impacts.
Most collisions with fender and other property damage occur at relatively
low speeds, but most injuries occur in crashes at higher speeds. Air bags are
designed to protect occupants in the higher-speed crashes. In any case,
control of the car would not be lost in the highly unlikely event of an
inadvertent air bag deployment.
General Motors inflated air bags without warning as test subjects drove
on straight-aways and turns up to speds of 45 MPH. GM reported "that without
exception, the subject retained control of the automobile."
