Question 6421
Can a high-strength vehicle body replace other passive safety systems?
- Yes, in off-road vehicles.
- No.
- Yes, for example the airbag or seat belt.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No.
No. Even if the vehicle body holds up, your body keeps moving forward inside the car until the seat belt, airbag, and head restraint stop it. Each system plays its part, including in an off-road vehicle. In the image, the front end has crumpled and the airbags have deployed.
