Air Bag Deployment Basics <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t always take a significant impact to cause airbags\nto deploy. If certain sensors are triggered, in the case of sudden braking or abrupt\nstopping, air bags can deploy. This can make it even more frightening and surprising\nfor some. Here are the recommended instructions for handling airbag deployment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2780 Check for Injuries<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

As soon as airbags deploy, check your passengers and\nyourself for any injuries, namely unconsciousness, broken bones, or stuck\nextremities. Burns are the most common injury from airbags, and although minor,\nshould be treated to prevent infection. Headaches, body aches, and muscle\nsoreness are all common symptoms post-airbag deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2781 Seek Medical Attention<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Once you have assessed your passenger injuries and your own,\ncall an ambulance and allow EMT\u2019s to treat your wounds and to check for other\nbodily injury. If you do not require EMT\u2019s, it is still recommended to go to an\nurgent care center and be looked at by a doctor. Whether major or minor, be\nsure to seek out proper medical treatment for all injuries. If you and your\npassengers have zero injuries, move onto the next two steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2782 Turn Off the Engine and Get Exit the Car<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In most cases, vehicular motors are designed to shut off\nwhen airbags deploy, but if yours did not, now is a good time to turn the\nignition off and remove the keys entirely. This eliminates the potential for\nfuel leak fires and explosions. Then remove yourself and everyone else from the\ncar, staying safely out of the way of traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2783 Assist Other Vehicles Involved<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

If another vehicle was involved in the accident, and you are\nnot hurt, offer assistance to the other driver and their passengers. Call for\nan ambulance and allow professional EMT\u2019s to move or treat anyone injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2784 Have Your Vehicle Towed <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Call a reputable 24\nhour Indiana tow truck company<\/a>, one suggested by your roadside assistance\ncarrier or a well-established local service. Have your car towed directly to the\nlocation of your choice, whether that is your home, office, or auto repair shop.\nTry to avoid leaving a wrecked vehicle at the scene of the accident. Not only\nis this dangerous to other drivers, it can lead to city fines or repossession. After\nall, a deployed airbag does not always render a car totaled. Sometimes it is\npossible to repair your vehicle back to a working condition. If not, you can\nsell it to a local junk car buyer!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
