1.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 05/01/1987 - "Occupant restraints, including seat belts and air bags, have been proven highly effective in preventing injuries, yet the specific benefits for the brain, the face, and the cervical spine provided by air bags have not been widely publicized" 06/01/1995 - "Although such reports may help to improve air bag design, the air bag should remain "innocent until proven guilty." We report that in motor vehicle crashes, the rate of ocular trauma increases 2.5 times if the car is not air bag-equipped" 06/01/1995 - "Although air bags have proven to be effective in saving lives and preventing injuries, a growing number of reports indicate that the air bag is also a potential source of ocular trauma" 01/01/1991 - "It is recommended that both air bags and automatic restraining devices be required for all drivers if the trauma occurring daily on highways is to be eliminated and acute hospital cost minimized." 03/15/2008 - "Although there are abundant literature showing reduced injury severity and fatalities from seatbelts and airbags, no recent studies have delineated the affect of incorrect use of airbags in cervical spine injuries" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
2.	Leg Injuries (Leg Injury) 07/01/2000 - "Air bags, however, are not as effective in preventing upper and lower extremity injuries, and thus arm and leg injuries will become more prevalent in years to come." Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
3.	Eye Injuries (Eye Injury) 01/01/2005 - "The purpose of this study was to investigate eye injuries resulting from frontal automobile crashes and to determine the effects of depowered airbags" 06/01/2003 - "The fatal accident series and AB studies were analyzed to disclose the eye injuries and use of eyewear and to estimate their possible relation to deployment of airbags" 06/01/2003 - "PURPOSE: This study was undertaken to evaluate the risk of eye injury in motor vehicle accidents in which airbags deploy" 07/01/2005 - "CONCLUSIONS: Although ocular morbidity can be a direct consequence of air bag deployment, most eye injuries are minimal, and seem to be outweighed by the benefits of air bags" 01/01/2005 - "For front-seated occupants in frontal collisions, the adverse effect of frontal air bags on the risk of eye injury should be considered against their protective effect for fatal injury."

4.	Burns 12/01/2007 - "The case describes peculiar abrasions to the enamel of the teeth scraped by the air bag, in particular atypic lesions involving the upper arch showing buccal rings of demineralization associated with roughness of the enamel that progressively assume a trend of fine parallel oblique striae from bottom to top and from left to right, as literature describes for cutaneous burns due to air bag insult." 10/01/2007 - "Burns due to the deployment of air bags have been occasionally described in recent years" 10/01/2007 - "Air bag-associated burn." 02/01/2005 - "A new category of contact burn resulting from air bag infusion." 10/01/2004 - "A second-degree burn related to air bag deployment: a case report]" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
5.	Neck Injuries (Neck Injury) 08/01/1991 - "In order to prevent the resulting head/neck injuries, this study extends the air-bag protection system developed for ground vehicles to a neck mounted system for aircrew personnel" 01/01/2007 - "Though clear trends were not noted in the neck injury values, it was noted that the simulations with out air bags produced two results that failed the injury criterion, while no serious neck injuries would be expected based on the values produced in the simulations with air bags" 09/01/2003 - "CONCLUSIONS: Even in a worst case position, small females are at low risk of head or neck injuries under loading from these thoracic-type airbags; however, injury risk increases with increasing inflator aggressivity." 11/01/2000 - "In impacts at a change of velocity between 1 and 30 km/h, airbags and pretensioners was found to reduce the neck injury risk with 59% +/- 18.6%." 11/01/2000 - "It was found that airbags in combination with seat belt pretensioners reduced the number of AIS1 neck injuries in frontal impacts with 41% +/- 15.2%" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
