Abstract

Results are presented of a Special Crash Investigations of air bag injuries in children conducted by the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Results revealed that the severity of the air bag-associated injuries in the children in the series are in contrast to the mostly minor injuries reported in adults.
