Modeling Air Bag Deployment: Do you have an air bag injury lawsuit?

Air bag testing is done to predict the effects of depowering an air bag on occupants who are wearing their seatbelts or not wearing seatbelts, on people who were speeding, on people who are men or women and children, during moderate to severe frontal impacts.

The testing is conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) by using baseline driver and passenger lifelike dummies; 108 simulations were conducted to evaluate the effects of depowering the air bag over a variety of driving conditions. Both restrained and unrestrained occupants were evaluated. The frontal impact simulations were conducted at three different impact speed levels -- 25 mph, 35 mph, and 45 mph. These impact speeds were chosen based on the availability of real-world crash data. Driver and passenger occupants were modeled both with and without 3-point belt restraints. The air bag was deployed in all simulations.

The unrestrained dummy test would be the most direct action to allow manufacturers to quickly initiate air bag design changes that can further reduce the injury risks related to air bag inflation.
The agency has presented results from tests in out-of-position conditions that represent some of the worst cases that could occur. It has been shown that in these positions, any air bag deployment has a significant probability of causing a serious to fatal injury. The level of de-powering required to reduce the probability of serious injury is expected to drop dramatically for occupants who are not centered on the air bag or are a few inches from the air bag module.

Proximity to the air bag module was an important component relative to injury.
