Lesson Learned :
Airbags are useless if the seat belt, which is the first line of defence, is not fastened.
If the first line of defence is not met, the air bag becomes the second line of defence.
If you do not properly secure the sitting chair seat belt, the air bag will not deploy.
According to government regulations, all cars have back seat belts, but very few people wear them, giving the impression that the rear seat is highly safe.
During a crash, the person behind is occasionally flung at a force of 40G. (40 times the gravity, which means the person weighing 80kgs will be like 3200kgs).
If the front passenger is wearing a seat belt and the rear passenger is not, the front passenger is likely to be seriously hurt or killed if the rear passenger falls with the weight of an elephant.
