Airbag and facebag benefits and costs
A theoretical analysis was performed to demonstrate the likely costs and benefits of U.S. full-size driver airbags and the smaller European-style facebag. Benefits were determined using Harm Reductions for front-seat occupants involved in frontal crashes. The results demonstrate the advantage of fullsize airbags over facebags, even when seatbelt wearing rates are high.
