The airbag restraint system has been described as a means of reducing fatalities in frontal crashes. This conclusion is based on crash investigations and statistical extrapolation, but few data exist to document specific fracture patterns and injuries after airbag deployment. Seven cases of driver's side airbag deployment after motor vehicle crashes were studied for extent of injury. Unrestrained (non-seatbelted) drivers demonstrated flexion injuries of the cervical and thoracic spine and direct impaction fractures of the face and sternum. One restrained (lap-shoulder belt) driver demonstrated an extension injury of the upper cervical spine. What may emerge from further study is a decrease in fatalities, but also a pattern of fractures specific to airbag use.
安全气囊约束系统被描述为一种减少正面碰撞中死亡人数的手段。这一结论是基于碰撞调查和统计推断得出的，但几乎没有数据记录安全气囊展开后的具体骨折模式和损伤情况。对7例机动车碰撞后驾驶员侧安全气囊展开的病例进行了损伤程度研究。未系安全带的驾驶员表现出颈椎和胸椎的屈曲损伤以及面部和胸骨的直接撞击骨折。一名系了安全带（使用肩带）的驾驶员表现出上颈椎的伸展损伤。进一步研究可能会发现死亡人数减少，但也会出现与安全气囊使用相关的特定骨折模式。
