Airbags
(SRSs) save lives
The
Airbag (SRS, Supplementary Restraint System) is a valuable supplement to the
seat belt. Together with the seat belt, the airbag gives extra protection
against injuries. Remember, however, a child riding in the front seat can be
seriously injured or killed when an airbag comes out in a crash.
An
airbag is not a soft, billowy pillow. To do its important job, an airbag comes
out of the dashboard faster than the blink of an eye. A passenger must be at
least 145 cm tall and be wearing a seat belt to travel safely where there is an
airbag.
