Can safety features hurt you in a car accident? Safety features such as seat belts, airbags, modern materials, and design continue to make cars and trucks safer each year. Even so, safety technology advances do occasionally cause injuries in a car crash while preventing more serious injuries.
Today, government regulations require car manufacturers to meet stringent safety standards. So what do you do if you are involved in a car crash and your vehicle’s safety features contribute to your injuries?
After an accident, you should first seek medical attention from County Line Chiropractic Medical & Rehab Centers.
Among the most-used vehicle safety features are seatbelts. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), seatbelts save nearly 15,000 lives a year.
While seatbelts save lives when worn correctly, they have also been shown to cause injuries like broken bones, organ damage, and contusions due to the tightening that occurs from the force of the accident.
When worn incorrectly, a seat belt can cause even more severe injuries, including death. Seat belts should be worn correctly across the shoulder and chest with little slack, as well as across the lap, low on your hips, and you should always sit upright. Children under 12 should be seated in the rear seat, with appropriate child-safe seats or seat belts.
If you or your child have been injured by a seatbelt during an auto accident, contact County Line Chiropractic today to schedule an appointment.
Another common safety feature is the airbag. Patented in 1953, airbags are now a safety standard. Like the seatbelt, there is no doubt that airbags save lives, thousands of them annually, by keeping the driver and passengers from colliding with the steering wheel, dashboard, windshield, vehicle frame, or each other.
Problems can arise due to the rapid deployment of airbags, which save lives but can also result in injuries, including:
The latest technology includes driver-assist features which are designed to enhance driving by exerting control over the vehicle when reacting to hazards on the road. While these features come with a host of names, they typically include detection and warning systems and braking systems.
While contributing to vehicle safety, they can also contribute to unintended hazards such as triggering a driver to overcorrect when the feature kicks in or causing a driver to become too dependent on the feature.

While they may cause injuries, you cannot deny that seat belts, airbags, and other vehicle safety features save countless lives every year. Here are some sobering statistics from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS):
