Metal bracelets on the arm can cause serious injury in the event of an accident, as can hairpins, glasses and other accessories such as rings. This was told socialbites.ca by Alexei Kolontay, head of the MasterClass Center for driver training in emergency situations.
“A metal hairpin could be in a certain position during an accident and get stuck in the head with a sharp edge. A metal bracelet can also puncture the skin and cut the veins. Any metal or glass object that sits above a person or hangs on the dashboard can be a source of trouble,” Kolontai said.
The expert noted that when an airbag deploys, a person wearing glasses can be injured by the glass. In this regard, it is recommended to place glasses on the tip of the nose so that they have time to fly away when hit. But since the cushion works in a fraction of a second, it may have time to smash through the windows, the driver’s instructor warned.
“There was a situation in the classroom where a young man had to turn the steering wheel in response to a car skidding. The wedding ring on his finger got caught in the leather of the steering wheel and peeled off the skin from his finger. Of course, it was sewn by doctors, it grew without a trace, but since then this driver always takes off the rings before driving, ”said the interlocutor from his experience.
