AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)02/16 Report--

As the auxiliary configuration of the passive safety of the car body, the role of the airbag is very important in the event of a collision, and the impact is huge when the airbag explodes, so it must be used with the seat belt in order to achieve the effect. Recently, when Mr. Zheng was driving back to Hangzhou in a traffic accident, his wife, who was sitting in the copilot, was burned by a burst airbag. After preliminary identification, the 4S store said: she is not wearing a seat belt.

Mr. Zheng's Honda Accord was bought at the Honda 4S store in Hangzhou. It has been bought for nearly three years, and it is still under warranty. Recently, the vehicle has had a traffic accident. As can be seen from the picture, the front part of the car has been seriously damaged. The front two airbags are all ejected and the windshield is damaged.

On the day he returned to Hangzhou, there were four people in Mr. Zheng's car. His wife was sitting on the copilot. According to Mr. Zheng's recollection at that time, he drove to the corner and tried to overtake. As a result, both lanes were occupied. In order to avoid colliding with vehicles in the opposite lane, he hit the steering wheel and crashed into the mountain. Mr. Zheng: "it just so happens that a car over there intersects, and both roads are occupied." When I saw the car opposite, it was too late to brake, and then I, as a driver, crashed into the mountain in one direction.

After that, the airbag ejected, and his wife's face was burned by the "liquid" ejected from the airbag. Mr. Zheng said: "there was an accident on the road, which led to the ejection of the airbag. I don't know what tube in the airbag burst." the 'liquid' inside sprayed on my wife's face.

Mr. Zheng believes that the vehicle airbag is supposed to protect passengers, but now it has become harmful to passengers. He believes that there must be something wrong with the safety setting of the car. "the airbag used to protect people, but now it hurts the passengers, so we think there must be something wrong with this safety facility," Mr. Zheng said.

The 4S store responded that after a preliminary inspection, the co-pilot did not wear a seat belt at that time. Ni, director of the 4S store, said that the main thing to protect the safety of passengers is the seat belt, and the airbag is mainly an auxiliary role. he believes that from the current situation, if Mr. Zheng's wife wore a seat belt at that time, it would not have caused the present consequences. however, Mr. Zheng's wife denied that he did not wear a seat belt at that time.

Finally, Mr. Zheng said that he would take his wife to treatment next, which may involve the cost of plastic surgery and the identification of the vehicle, while Director Ni said that they would cooperate with Mr. Zheng, and if the amount was not high, the two sides would also negotiate.

Overtaking in the corner itself is illegal. Mr. Zheng's "superb" driving skills avoided colliding with the opposite car only to hit the mountain, and the four people on board survived. As for the wife of Mr. Zheng, who was sitting in the co-driver, her face was "burned". Was she wearing a seat belt?
