Airbag Crash Repeatedly Calls for National Standards

A sudden traffic accident while driving home, and an airbag that provides the final safety barrier for passengers and drivers, cannot be opened. When a victim asks a car manufacturer for a claim, because of the absence of national standards and industry standards for airbags, the road to defending rights is difficult.

Airbags improve the car's passive safety in traffic accidents. According to statistics, airbags can protect approximately one-third of the people from surviving in a serious collision accident. In addition, one-sixth of drivers or front passengers can be rescued by airbags during a collision. Of course, this is the case when the airbag can be opened in time and accurately.

The airbag should be opened under what conditions, which is a technical problem. Car airbags also have negative effects. The quality of the airbags is not great, but the speed of the airbag deployment is very high, which can cause a great impact on the human body. If the airbags are improperly deployed or the passengers are not seated correctly, it may cause casualties. Moreover, the airbag is a one-time product, and each opening means a loss of several thousand dollars. Therefore, the earlier and more frequently the airbag is not opened, the better.

For automakers, it's far better to "never open" an airbag than to open it. In the absence of national standards and industry standards, the former can be condemned in one sentence: the impact is not enough. The latter, it is easy to be identified as a quality problem, product defects. Two-phase trade-offs are light, and the airbags of many automobiles have become a device. The larger the impact force required to open, the better. It does not need to be opened anyway. In the absence of standards and without an authoritative organization, the public said that it is reasonable and that her husband is reasonable. As a weak consumer, it is indeed a difficult task to seek justice from the car manufacturers.

Although every traffic accident has a different situation, it is really difficult to open the airbag when it is needed most. However, the speed and intensity of the collision that causes injury to the people inside the vehicle can be roughly determined. Under such a national standard, not only is it beneficial to consumer rights protection, but it is also a need to ensure the safety of people in the car.
