Can an airbag replace a seatbelt?

Correct answer

No; it supplements the belt and can injure an incorrectly positioned occupant.

No. An airbag is a supplemental system designed to work with a seatbelt. An unrestrained occupant may move too close to the airbag during a collision and suffer serious injuries as it deploys. Wear the belt correctly and maintain the posture and distance specified by the manufacturer. No single inflation speed applies to every airbag.
