摘要

Air bags punch out of their dashboard cocoons at more than 140 miles per hour. Because of their speed, they both save lives and occasionally squander them. The rapidly inflating nylon sacks have prevented nearly 3,500 auto collision deaths since the late 1980s, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). From 1991, when the first air bag-induced death was reported until Sept. 1, 1998, the agency has tallied 113 people, mostly children and small adults, killed by the bags during minor accidents when their lives weren't otherwise at risk. "Anyone who gets too close to [an inflating] bag, whether a young child or a 300-pound football player, is in big trouble," says Barry Felrice, director of regulatory affairs for the American Automobile Manufacturers Association. Air bags, which are inflated by gas from a rapidly burning pro-pellant and sometimes also from a pressurized cartridge, have caused nonfatal injuries including broken bones, burns, and eye damage, although the damage may have been worse in many cases had the air bag not deployed.
