	Air Bag Safety - The Police Notebook
		Air bag risk is minimal if a driver can sit 10 to 12 inches or more away from the steering wheel.
		To date, completed investigations of air bag crashes show that many of the air bag injuries were due to the driver sitting too close to the air bag module or passengers riding unbuckled or incorrectly secured.
		To decrease the number of injuries and deaths caused by the combination of air bags and improperly restrained children, as well as those attributed to motorists being improperly secured, drivers must be made aware of correct safety procedures.

	The Air Bag Debate
		The proposal by NHTSA focuses on air bags themselves as the culprit, which is an oversimplification of the issue.
		In actuality, it is a lack of consumer education as to the air bag usage methods that is causing many of the injuries and deaths.
		If this is the case --- that air bags still pose a threat to children and infants, despite the proper use of seat belts --- there are other options that should have been explored by NHTSA before "jumping the gun" and submitting a hardly well-thought out proposal.

	How air bag is made - Background, History, Raw materials, The manufacturing process of air bag, Quality control
		A typical air bag system consists of an air bag module (containing an inflator or gas generator and an air bag), crash sensors, a diagnostic monitoring unit, a steering wheel connecting coil, and an indicator lamp.
		The driver's-side air bag material is manufactured with a heat shield coating to protect the fabric from scorching, especially near the inflator assembly, during deployment.
		The air bag fabric is then die cut to the proper shapes and sewn, internally and externally, to properly join the two sides.

	ConnDOT: Air Bag Basics
		Air bags are designed to keep your head, neck, and chest from slamming into the dash, steering wheel, or windshield in a front end crash.
		Generally, air bags are designed to deploy in crashes that are equivalent to a vehicle crashing into a solid wall at 8 to 14 miles per hour.
		The "smoke" you may have seen in a vehicle after an air bag demonstration is the nontoxic starch or talc that is used to lubricate the air bag.

	Air bag advances curb highway toll - The Boston Globe
		Air bags are gas-inflated cushions that rapidly discharge from compartments hidden in steering columns, dashboards, roof rails, doors, and seats, hyper-inflating to protect a vehicle's safety-belted adult drivers and passengers.
		These bags inflate to different girths, depending on variables such as seat position, the severity of the crash, and whether the seat belt is clasped.
		Advanced frontal air bags -- the generic term for GM's dual-depth technology -- are configured to render moot the public outcry over first-generation air bags, which claimed that the bags crushed children and small adults.

	Air Bag On-Off Switches - Section II.
		The most direct behavioral solution to the problem of child fatalities from air bags is for children to be properly belted and placed in the back seat whenever possible, while the most direct behavioral solution for the adult fatalities is to use seat belts and move the driver seat back as far as practicable.
		Air bags have proven to be highly effective in reducing fatalities from frontal crashes, the most prevalent fatality and injury-causing type of crash.
		Air bag fatalities are not a problem inherent in the concept of air bags or in the agency's occupant restraint standard, Standard No. 208 (49 CFR 571.208).

	Air Bags
		Since air bags were introduced, a total of six people (including one child) were killed, none of whom appears to have been properly restrained.
		Air bags reduced fatalities among right front-seat occupants ages 10 to 64 by 23 per cent in frontal crashes.
		If the current paranoia about air bags were to lead to widespread deactivation, one could reasonably expect an increase in traffic fatalities people who could have been saved by an air bag.

	Consumer Information Center: Air Bags & On-Off Switches
		Air bags are designed to save lives and prevent injuries by cushioning occupants as they move forward in a front-end crash.
		The physicians also noted that a passenger air bag might have to be turned off if an infant or child has a medical condition and must ride in front so that he or she can be monitored.
		Since the air bag will not automatically turn itself back on after you turn it off with an on-off switch, you must remember to turn it on when someone who is not at risk is sitting in that seat.

	Air Bag Safety
		Unless the vehicle is equipped with a cut-off switch for the air bag and the air bag is shut off, under absolutely no circumstances should a parent place a rear-facing infant seat in front of an air bag.
		Even if the air bag is shut off or there is no air bag, the safest place for all children 12 and under is in the rear seat.
		In order to allow the air bag to deploy safely, front seat passengers should avoid leaning or reaching forward and should remain seated against the vehicle seat back, with as little slack in the belt as possible to minimize forward movement in a crash.

	AAP - Air Bag Safety Card
		Side air bags improve safety for adults in side impact crashes, but children who are not properly restrained and are seated near a side air bag may be at risk for serious injury.
		Air bags that are turned off provide no protection to older children, teens, parents, or other adults riding in the front seat.
		Air bag on/off switches should only be used if your child has special health care needs for which your pediatrician recommends constant observation during travel, and no other adult is available to ride in the back seat with your child.

		Advanced frontal air bags were designed primarily to minimize the risk of an air bag-related injury or death to children and small-stature adults.
		Advanced frontal air bag systems are a next-generation air bag system designed to be even more effective than the current depowered air bags in saving lives, while at the same time minimizing the likelihood of an air bag-related serious injury or death.
		It is possible for the driver or passenger frontal air bag to deploy, neither to deploy or both to deploy, depending on the crash severity and the characteristics of the occupants (such as presence, size, seat position and seat belt use).

	Howstuffworks "How does an air bag work?"
		Air bags have saved thousands of lives since their introduction in the early 1980s.
		First, there is the bag itself, which is made of thin, nylon fabric and folded into the steering wheel or the dash board.
		Air bags are actually inflated by the equivalent of a solid rocket booster.

	Sensors help make air bags safer
		Air bags, however, are also highly controversial because they have killed 67 people and injured more with severe trauma to the neck and head.
		When air bags were first designed, the inflation speed was optimized to provide the highest level of protection for an average-size adult not wearing a safety belt in a 30-mile-per-hour crash.
		Tests have shown that an occupant at least 8 inches away from the air bag is much less likely to be injured than if he or she is right up close, so some sensors also read the passenger's position.

		The air bags are depowered by reducing the peak inflation pressure and/or rise rate.
		Rise rate is the force and speed with which an air bag inflates, which is controlled by factors such as type and amount of inflator gas, air bag size, and the vent design in the bag itself.
		While years of field experience have demonstrated that the previous generation of air bags provided substantial safety benefits to customers, in some cases they caused serious or even fatal injuries to occupants who were unbelted and/or too close to the deploying air bag.

		According to the National Safety Council's Air Bag and Seat Belt Safety Campaign, the rate of child deaths from air bags declined 90.3 percent between 1996 and 2000, despite the number of vehicles with passenger air bags on the road tripling during that time.
		The energy required to inflate air bags in the short time available can injure people who are up against, or very close to, air bags as they inflate.
		Though the number of cases is limited, air bags used in conjunction with three-point belts appear to have a positive effect on fetal outcome compared to three-point belt use only.

	Air Bag Safety
		Side-impact air bags (SABs) are inflatable devices that are designed to help protect your head and/or chest in the event of a serious crash involving the side of your vehicle.
		Unlike frontal air bags, some of the side curtain air bags may stay inflated for several seconds during a crash for additional protection in the event of a rollover.
		All air bags (frontal or side) are supplemental safety devices and are intended to work best in combination with safety belts.
