How many people have been killed by airbags?



    

UCANTCME
Rating
Since 1990 more than 290 deaths have been attributable to frontal airbag inflation in low-speed crashes.

Nearly 90 percent of deaths occurred in vehicles manufactured before 1998.

Approximately 68 percent of people killed by frontal airbags have been passengers.

More than 90 percent of these fatalities were children and infants, most of whom were unbelted or in rear-facing child safety seats that placed their heads close to the deploying airbag.

More than 80 percent of deaths were unbelted or improperly restrained.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

If you wear your seatbelt like you should, an airbag being a contributing factor of your death in a fatal accident is extremely low.

Airbags don't kill people who do what they are supposed to, and buckle up!

One is too many.
