Within this study 508 accidents with air bag equipped cars were investigated by a scientist team of researchers at the Medical University of Hannover. In 178 cases the air bag deployed. The study is presenting injury frequency and severity related to the accident severity delta-v and air bag specific injuries are pointed out. An effectiveness by the air bag for higher accident severity could be analysed, but an often minor injury situation in lower accident severity up to delta-v 30 kmph could be established without air bag. Air bag specific injuries are rare.
