Abstract
The wide use of automobile airbags has undoubtedly reduced the mortali ty and the incidence of serious injuries from motor vehicle accidents. However, automobile airbags appear to be associated with a variety of injuries including fatal injuries, ocular injuries, upper limb and ch est injuries. Further improvements in airbag design together with educ ation of the general public in their use should help reduce airbag-rel ated injuries.
