Side air bags prompt red flags on danger

Article Abstract:

Side air bags, which can now be found on several new cars, can break children's necks if they are lying against the bags during a crash, according to some industry and private researchers. Jeff Crandall, director of the University of Virginia's auto safety lab who tested a number of air bags offered by suppliers, discovered that some side bags that were too forceful could twist a child's head around or push it forward in a crash, causing neck or brain injury. Acura spokesman Mike Spencer also said side bags spun the head around backward during crash tests where child-size dummies were lying against a side bag.
