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" Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	Craniocerebral Trauma (Head Injury) 01/01/2008 - "Numerous safety improvements in the workplace, the addition of airbags to vehicles, and the enforcement of speed limits have all helped to reduce the incidence and severity of head trauma" 06/01/2005 - "CONCLUSIONS: The short timeframe surveyed prevents drawing meaningful conclusions about statistical significance, but the graphical representations of the data in this study underscore an urgent need for further investigation based on current trends in order to understand the issue of minor and moderate head injury prevention in regard to airbags." 01/01/2008 - "In the experiments with system Type-1, for fall heights of less than 2m, the airbags reduced the impact acceleration, and the Head Injury Criterion (HIC) values were under 1,000, the auto-crash test requirement" 05/01/2007 - "The installation of airbags in motor vehicles, in association with the use of seat belts, has reduced the incidence of head injuries, as well as significantly decreasing morbidity and mortality in motor vehicle accidents" 06/01/2005 - "In 1995, AIS 1 and 2 head injuries accounted for 96.5% of all head injuries caused by airbags" Order ALL the reference details at left...
3.	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." Order ALL the reference details at left...
4.	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."

5.	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]" Order ALL the reference details at left...
