Air bags provide the best protection available in a frontal crash.
But you need to get some distance between yourself and the air bag to ensure you are only making contact with it once it has completely or almost completely inflated. If you or any of your passengers are in the air bag deployment zone you risk suffering serious or even fatal injuries. Learn how to get the most protection from your air bag.
