.» In low-speed collisions, it has -
been suggested that no injuries
would have occurred without an
airbag (assuming the occupants
were wearing their seatbelts).
--" Some burn cases have occurred
as the result of hot nitrogen gas
escaping from a deflating aitbag
through vent holes in the sides.
Airbags have since been
redesigned, and burn injuries are
comparatively less frequent.
“There have also been reports of
arm fractures which occurred while
the driver’s arm was positioned
across thé steering wheel bub. This:
could occur if the airbag inflated
while the driver was turning the
steering wheel! hand-over-hand.
“Bye injuries have been blamed
on the tale powder that is used in
folding the airbag inside the steer-
ing wheel hub or dashboard.
Though not attributable to

4 airbags alone, the NHTSA reported

Md three deaths of short, elderly
women in low-speed collisions
who were thought to be seated very
close to the steering wheel. ;

-- The NHTSA is carefut to point
out that the instances of scrious:
S injuries caused by airbags are rare
compared to the lives being saved.
University of Michigan
researcher Donald F. Huelke says
that airbags are of special benefit to
the elderly: “Younger people’s
bones are stronger and their bodies
relatively straight. Belts can be -
positioned for maximum protec-
tion. But older people may not be
able to use belts in the best posi-
tion, and their bodies can’t take the
impact us well...for these people,
airbags are very important.”
