“…Automobile airbags are designed to deploy instantaneously in the event of a collision and are controlled by electronic deceleration sensors and inflate at a rate of 6 L/msec. Consequently, intrathoracic injuries as aortic transection (9), aortic valve (10), and right atrial rupture (10,11) resulting from airbag deployment have been previously reported. Although myocardial infarction associated with other types of chest trauma has been described in the literature, to our knowledge, the involvement of both left and right coronary arteries together with coronary sinus has never been reported with blunt chest trauma from an airbag deployment.…”

“…Während in selteneren Fällen die Aorta ascendens betroffen ist (meist schwerer Frontalzusammenstoß ohne Gurt), rupturiert sonst fast immer die proximale Aorta descensens unmittelbar nach Abgang der A. subclavia [7]. Der Aairbag kann davor keinen vollständigen Schutz bieten [8][9][10][11][12]. Unter den weiteren ursächlichen Unfällen ist der Sturz aus größerer Höhe (ab ca.…”

“…Bemerkenswerterweise treten hierbei lebensbedrohliche und tödliche Verletzungen bereits bei relativ moderaten Geschwindigkeiten auf: So wurden Rupturen des rechten Vorhofs und der Aorta durch auslösenden Airbag bei nicht mit Sicherheitsgurt gesicherten Fahrern schon bei Auffahrgeschwindigkeiten unter 30 km/h beschrieben [11,12].…”

“…Airbags füllen sich mit 6 Litern/ms, wobei Geschwindigkeiten von 157 bis 338 km/h erreicht werden [12]. Sie sind daher so konstruiert, dass sie vollständig entfaltet sind, bevor sich der Fahrzeuginsasse nach vorne bewegt und Kontakt zum Airbag bekommt.…”
