I’m just wondering how modern auto safety systems with seat belts and airbags help prevent injury, or not.
Could you please briefly describe the accident and what sort of injuries you and your passengers had. How about the other car’s injuries.

I was a front passenger in a car when someone crossed the center line and hit us head on. The air bag did open, but I can’t say what injuries it prevented. My seat belt ABSOLUTELY saved my life. Unfortunately because I was turned slightly in my seat, the seat belt did cause some injury. I had a broken back, rib, and ankle as as a result of the accident. The back and rib (and of course the collapsed lung that goes with the rib) were due to the force of the seat belt. The driver of the car I was in broke her foot. The backseat passenger had no injuries. The other driver received head and chest injuries. He was in a convertible, but I do believe he made a full recovery. So in summary, seat belts save lives!
