The Side Airbag Poses Serious
Risks
Side airbags have been designed to
help protect adults in a moderate to
severe side impact.
If any part of a child's body is in the
path of a deploying airbag, an
inflating side airbag can strike the
child with enough force to kill or
very seriously injure a child.
