Do you know .. Not wearing seat belts prevents inflation of airbags

By, 2017-06-20

 

The seat belt is an essential safety factor in the car manufacturing process. And despite it is primarily designed to protect passengers, and traffic laws around the world stipulate punishment for those who do not use it, yet, millions around the world are still reluctant to put it on.

 

In the last 10 years, a major development took place in car manufacturing. For example, safety belts are now more secure and stable for passengers, air bags and air curtains are more effective, as well as the development of electronic braking systems.

 

Many tests by companies specializing in the manufacture and development of vehicle safety have shown that the driver and the passenger are at greater risk when airbags inflate without wearing seat belts.

 

Thus, those companies developed airbags that only inflate when the seat belt is properly tied. And they have created a warning system to warn the driver when driving without a seat belt.

 

For those with older cars that has no airbags, we remind them that statistics show that about 23% of car passengers who lost their lives in traffic accidents did not use seat belts during the accident.

 

United Nations statistics and road safety organizations estimate that 1.1 million people lose their lives every year from fatal road accidents, as well as millions who suffer permanent injuries.
