Spine Fractures
An interesting study was recently conducted regarding air bags and seat belt usage. Spine fractures occur very often after a motor vehicle crash and can lead to paralysis or death.
According to a new study, the combination of air bags and seat belts seem to lower the tendency of suffering a spine fracture during a motor vehicle crash.
The use of both seat belt and air bag was associated with decreased odds of a spine fracture. Use of an air bag alone was associated with increased odds of a severe thoracic, but not cervical spine fracture. Read the study here
