Analyses were conducted both on "raw" data-sets and also with assumptions that injuries to the lower limbs are unaffected through interaction with a deploying airbag. This study reveals problems with comparing data from more than one country and highlights a requirement for a harmonised global approach to accident data collection particularly with a corresponding growth in vehicle export markets.
