abrasions or bruises. Depending on the angle
of impact and other factors, you can also get
bumps, cuts, or even broken bones from
striking the windshield or other vehicle parts.
Of course, very severe collisions can
cause more serious injuries, including fatal
injuries—even when seat belts are properly
worn and the airbags deploy.
After an airbag deploys, there is smoke in the
air. Is this harmful?
The smoke or powder you may see is not
harmful to most people. However, people
with breathing problems may experience some
respiratory distress. If this is the case, get out
of the car, or open the windows or doors, as
soon as it is safe to do so.
Can an airbag be used more than once?
Airbags are designed for one-time use only.
In a collision with multiple impacts, the
airbags will deploy only during the first
severe frontal impact. After airbags deploy,
the bags and associated parts must be
replaced. Any seat belts worn will also
need to be replaced.
