Abstract

The influence of three different inflation pulses on the risk of injury to a standing child was inferentially studied. Pigs weighing 14-15 kg were used as test animals. It is concluded that: an out-of-position passenger of the size of a child 3-6 years of age could be injured by air bag inflation even at the triggering level of vehicle acceleration (12 g); injuries could be due to not only deformations of the body and displacement of internal organs.
