Abstract

Passenger side airbag effectiveness is relatively unknown, for infrequently is there a passenger in the front seat when the airbag deploys. Injuries from passenger side airbag deployments are usually minor and approximately 42% of the passengers have no airbag related injuries. The cases selected for presentation are fatalities related to the airbag and are from the field accident investigations conducted of airbag deployments by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Special Crash Investigation program and the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute personnel.
