Studies deflate hype on air bags


If you want to be safer while driving, airbags may give you an edge, but they're overrated, according to a new study by the School of Public Health and Community Medicine at the University of Washington in Seattle. The study looked at all accidents in the U.S. between 1990 and 2000 in which the driver, the front-seat passenger, or both died. More than 51,000 passenger vehicles were involved in the sample. The study indicated that 313 lives were saved by airbags during a period in which seatbelts saved 11,690 lives.

A Toronto star article reports that even children too big for safety seats but too small to properly fit adult seatbelts still benefited enormously from being strapped in. Read the Star articleEnd of Article
