7. Air bags work when an electronic sensor in the car senses a sudden, sharp deceleration (such as a crash) and detonates a small charge which inflates the bags.


8. Fatal injuries have been reduced by 11% to drivers in an automobile collision in which an air bag has been deployed.


9. The air bag is inflated at speeds up to 200 miles per hour. Thisfaster than the blink of an eye.


10. At the start of the 1998 model year, all new passenger cars sold in the United States must have both driver and passengerside air bags.


11. Air bags are not designed to replace seat belts, they are to supplement lap and shoulder restraints to help limit head and chest injuries.


12. If a passenger or driver is not fully restrained they may contact the air bag before it is fully inflated, they may sustain serious or fatal injuries.


13. Remember air bags are supplemental devices. Use both lap and shoulder belts on every drive and Wear the lap belt under the abdomen and low across the hip.


14. Wear the shoulder belt portion down over the collar bone away from the neck and cross over the breast bone.


15. The driver and passenger should move their seats as far back as practical, especially for people that are smaller in stature. Try to keep a 10 inch margin between the steering wheel and your breast bone. If you cannot keep a 10 inch margin, then tilt the steering wheel downward, this will aim the air bag at your chest instead of your head and neck, Slightly recline your seat back, this may help you achieve the 10 inch margin. However, if reclining the seat back hinders your view of the road, raise yourself by using a non-slippery, firm cushion, or raise your seat if the vehicle has a lumbar option.

Accidents or traffic collisions may result in injury, death and property damage.
Car accidents are such common place in our society that many just write them off as a fact of life. It is true that accidents can happen, but more times than not it was someone’s carelessness that led to the crash. Most motor vehicle accidents could have been avoided if it were not for the other driver’s negligence.

50m in length i can double back but in depth i do nt knw there aint no 50m deep pool in Nigeria bt i have gone about 8ft underwater.

You don't know? So if there's 50m deep water, you wil try it? You can try any of the coastal cities, get a speed boat and fly about 3kms away from shore to the open waters. I think you should get more than 50m of depth there, but be careful o cos there are lots of things to consider which you don't know.

50m is much, like from a goal post to the middle (touchline) of a standard football pitch.
