Injuries associated with airbag deployment.
Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United Kingdom. Airbags drastically reduce both morbidity and mortality from crashes, but with the increased use of airbags there has been a corresponding increase in the number of injuries attributable to these devices.

متن کاملCensus study of real-life near-side crashes with modern side airbag-equipped vehicles in the United States.
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the crash characteristics, injury distribution, and injury mechanisms for Maximum Abbreviated Injury Score (MAIS) 2+ injured belted, near-side occupants in airbag-equipped modern vehicles. Furthermore, differences in injury distribution for senior occupants compared to non-senior occupants was investigated, as well as whether the near-side occupant inju...
متن کاملRe: Association between side-impact airbag deployment and risk of injury.
The study compared injury outcome by match pairing sided airbag (SAB) deployment versus no SAB deployment vehicles using 2000 to 2009 CIREN (Crash Injury Research Engineering Network) and NASSCDS (National Automotive Sampling SystemYCrashworthiness Data System) database. The study then concluded that head SAB was protective, whereas thoracic SAB was not. The authors suggested that this could be...
