If airbags are deployed in the vehicle in the event of an accident, the driver or passengers may suffer serious head injuries. Abdul Gadzhimuradov, a traumatologist-orthopedist at MMC Medsi on Michurinsky Prospekt, spoke about this in an interview with socialbites.ca.
“Airbag deployment can cause a concussion, especially if the occupant’s head is too close to the steering wheel. “A sharp movement of the head and neck can cause damage to the medulla, which is often accompanied by headache, dizziness and even deterioration and loss of consciousness,” said Abdul Gadzhimuradov.
According to the doctor, if the occupant’s head is in the wrong position at the time the airbag deploys, sharp bending and swinging of the neck can also cause injury to the neck vertebrae or muscles.
In some cases, an airbag can cause injury to the face, especially when the driver or passenger does not follow safety recommendations, such as not using a seat belt or sitting incorrectly. The specialist explained that in such cases, damage to the nose, eyes (if glasses are worn) and teeth or mouth is possible.
It is important to follow these guidelines to prevent or minimize injury from airbag deployments in an accident. Doctor, first of all use a seat belt and adjust the seat to the optimal position of the hands on the steering wheel and the feet on the pedals.
Former therapist Ekaterina Mikheeva said socialbites.ca says that people who snore should not drive.
