Air-Bag Safety 101.

Air-bags are a very well-known car safety feature that has won the hearts of some and the fear of others. There is a common misconception that instead of air-bags helping to keep the occupants within a car safe it is actually more of a hazard. This could not be further from the truth unless this topic was in reference to children thirteen and younger who do not have sufficient weight or size to accomodate such a powerful force.

Air-bags have been known to cause some injuries due to a passenger or driver sitting too close to the air-bag upon impact, but generally if the occupants of the vehicle are sitting correctly and they have properly applied their safety belt then there are usually never any problems.

Another strange myth about air-bags is the thought that after deployed they can be deployed multiple times--this is wrong. Air-bags are a "one-hit-wonder" so to speak. After the crash, or cause of deployment, strikes and the air-bags are engaged they are then non-reusable unless you take them to an air-bag repair service shop or you go visit your local Lawrenceberg  Chevy  dealer or Terry Lee Honda en route to find a new vehicle.

Thanks to the modern-day expanding technology we are able to branch out and provide consmers with even more and more safety features that excentuate passengers and drivers safety both on the road, and off of it.
After taking into account of all possible air-bags on a car remember that there can always be: frontal air-bags and side-impact air bags. While frontal air-bags are required the side-impact air-bags and advanced air-bag system does not always apply to each car. So be aware, be alert, but most of all--be safe!
