Did you know that senior citizens are particularly at risk from unwarranted air bag deployments?

Airbags are an integral part of auto crashworthiness.   The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that airbags save thousands of lives each year, yet airbags that  sometimes open without cause also cause serious injuries, some of them fatal. Because airbags are designed for the average man, many women, children and the elderly are at risk.   A 2007 study (Craig Newgard, MD, of Oregon Health & Science University) found that for drivers taller than 6 foot 3 inches, air bags were associated with a 5 percent greater risk of serious injury and for drivers shorter than 4 foot 11 inches, air bags were associated with a 4 percent increase in the risk of serious injury.
