Can the way an airbag works become dangerous in an accident?

Correct answer

Yes, if the seatbelt is not being worn.

Yes. An airbag deploys very rapidly and can cause injury, especially if an occupant is unbelted or too close to it. It supplements the seatbelt and does not replace it. Adjust the seat properly and follow manufacturer instructions on posture, distance and objects near the airbag. Never put a rear-facing child restraint in front of an active frontal airbag. In Spain, children using the front seat must also meet article 117 conditions. A single inflation speed cannot be applied to all airbags.
