Car air-bags |
| GM
invented air-bags in 1973 and offered it as an option on
their Chevrolet models that year. The idea failed to take
off then. Chrysler was the first to offer air-bags as
standard equipment in their cars in 1988. They're still not a standard feature on most cars on the road but more and more car-makers are offering them as an option. While there is some controversy about the advantages of air-bags to people with smaller frames (part of the reason why air-bags haven't caught on here), the newer generation of air-bags vent air even as they inflate, making them safer for use. |
