汽車安全氣囊的安全性與眼球傷害

汽車安全氣囊已被證實可以有效的减少因正面碰撞車祸所造成的重大傷亡，但它也會連带造成一些不必要的傷害，尤其是發生在原本應不致造成重大傷害的中低速碰撞，而其中最常傷及眼部，但是大多數是輕微而且可以痊癒的。汽車安全氣囊的設計與作用機制仍有改善的空間，尤其是對解剖構造上较具有潛在危险性的女性及身材矮小者。為了减少這些傷害，駕駛人及前座乘客應綁上三點式安全带並與安全氣囊保持25公分以上的距離，如果因為身材矮小或有其他原因導致無法維持此安全距離時，可考慮将安全氣囊的功能關掉，僅使用三點式安全带可能比较安全。

Airbags are widely available nowadays since they have been proved effective in decreasing the mortality and morbidity during frontal-collision car accidents. However, more and more occupants have been injured by airbags, even in low-speed collisions, according to many case series. These injuries happened more frequently among women and short-statured persons. To prevent this untoward effect, passengers should wear the three-point lap-shoulder seatbelt and keep at least 25cm away from the airbag. It may be better to turn off the airbag if the passenger cannot keep this distance. Airbags deserve further modifications to deploy at the proper time, in the proper direction, with appropriate power and dimension.
