Question 4254

In the event of an accident, if the vehicle occupants are not wearing seat belts, is the airbag effective?

  1. No; it can also cause serious injuries.
  2. Only the front airbag is effective, but not the one for the rear seats.
  3. Yes.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No; it can also cause serious injuries.

No. The airbag is designed to work with the seat belt fastened. Without a seat belt, your body is thrown toward the airbag as it inflates very quickly, and the impact can cause serious injuries. The same applies to the front airbag.
