The crash, by far. Almost nobody has been killed by the deployment of an airbag, but a crash has caused the deaths of probably millions of people.
No contest, alcohol
Earthquakes have caused more deaths than hurricanes, and hurricanes have caused more deaths than lightning.
The larger the size of the airbag allows more nitrogen (that's right nitrogen not air) for your head to be able to cushion the impact of the crash. However the airbag is not inflated to the max at the time your head comes in contact with it. This is because the airbag will be hard from the amount of nitrogen in the airbag so it deflates a little to make it softer.
Most definitely. Your reaction time when you have one drink is impaired. Drink 2 drinks and it is impaired even more. Alcohol causes 1 death every 30 minutes according to the NHTSA. That is around 17,500 deaths each year due to driving under the influence of alcohol. Those are deaths not just accidents. How many accidents it causes is considerably more.
Yes!More accurate answer:Most cars do not run after the airbag goes off. The system shuts off the fuel pump in a crash. This can be reset and the car could run again if not damaged to badly.
If the crash was severe enough for the airbag to deploy, your vehicle is probably not drivable. Have the police call the tow-truck that is next on the rotation list to tow your car to your favorite body shop. If you attempt to drive the vehicle after the crash you run the risk of doing more damage to the vehicle that the insurance company might not cover.
Hippopotamus
It means the module has detected a problem in the airbag electrical circuit and one or more of your airbags may not work in a crash.
Helicopters are generally more dangerous than aeroplanes.
More deaths occur an the roadways every year because of speeders. A crash at any speed can cause death and dismemberment. A crash at high speed will kill you and anyone around you. High speed crashes usually inviolve innocent motorists who are in the wrong place at the wrong time. High speed crashes can be more damaging both physically and financially. More deaths occur because of high speeds in poor conditions. All it takes is a split second for something to go wrong. And its all over. You. You car. And whomever else just happened to be in the way.
No, the airbag system, and the steering system are completely different. The airbag, in the centre of the steering wheel (i assume) can be replaced. Lets say for example, your vehicle has a crash, and the airbag is deployed, you will need to replace it, and then remove any fault codes from the airbag module (or ECU). If the airbag light is illuminated, but the airbag hasn't deployed, this indicates a general fault (which shouldnt be ignored) Personally id have this investigated by a trained technician, as an exploding airbag isn't something i'd like to be standing next to! SRS systems are complex and rely on a control module, its more electric than it is mechanical, replacing a steering column would just simply; replace the steering column...
