How have changes in front airbag designs affected frontal crash death rates? an update.

Conclusions: Implementing advanced features to sled-certified airbags was beneficial, overall, to drivers and right-front passengers with sled-certified airbags. No overall benefit was observed for CAC airbags, compared with sled-certified airbags with advanced features. Further study is needed to understand the apparent reduction in belted driver protection observed for CAC airbags. PMID: 24571210 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
