Question 5132
In an accident, why should we take extreme precautions and move as far away as possible from airbags that have not deployed?
- Because the vehicle could catch fire.
- Because there is a risk of serious injury if they deploy unexpectedly.
- Because the injured person could get frightened.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because there is a risk of serious injury if they deploy unexpectedly.
An airbag that did not deploy in the crash can activate during the rescue. It deploys so quickly and forcefully that it can seriously injure anyone in front of it. That is why you should stay out of its deployment area while helping the occupants.
