Can the airbag replace the function of the seat belt in any case?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

No, never. The airbag is a passive safety system designed to be complementary to the seat belt, never to replace it. In fact, many airbags bear the acronym SRS (Supplemental Restraint System), indicating their supplementary nature. If the driver or passengers are not wearing their seat belts, the deployment of the airbag can be ineffective and even dangerous, causing serious injuries by striking the body moving uncontrollably. Therefore, the airbag must always be accompanied by the use of the seat belt.
