Airbags are thought to be an important defense against serious injury or death in a car accident. However, an investigation into the facts has found airbags often fail, leaving victims seriously and often fatally injured.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has done little to protect consumers from the threat of airbag failure. Airbag failures are responsible for hundreds of fatalities annually, yet little is being done to correct the problem.

The investigation found over fifteen hundred people have died as a result of front-impact car accidents after airbags failed to deploy, but the investigators feel the actual number is closer to four thousand deaths when all possible accident scenarios are included in the equation. Another aspect of airbag deployment injuries is that they can inflict serious injuries when they deploy unexpectedly not during an accident or after a minor fender-bender.

The most recent airbag recall was announced by the Honda Motor Company for nearly five-hundred thousand vehicles that could contain a dangerous and deadly airbag defect which has recently resulted in six injuries and one fatality.
