Air bags inflate with at force, faster than the
blink of an eye.
If
you’re too close to an inflating
air
bag, it could seriously injure you. Safety belts
help keep you in position before and during
a
crash. Always wear
your
safety belt, even with
air
bags. The driver should sit
as
far
back as possible
while still maintaining control of the vehicle.
