Air bags inflate with a t force, faster than the
blink of a n eye. If you're too close to an inflating
air bag, it could seriously injure you. Safety belts
help keep you in position before and during
a
crash. Always wear
your
safety belt, even with air
bags. The driver should sit as far back as possible
while still maintaining control of the vehicle.
