| At point of collision, neither air bags deployed and seat belt did not work effectively to restrain my adolescent son. if the seat belt had restrained him properly and the air bag had indeed deployed; his teeth marks would not have been embedded into the dash. i firmly believe he and myself would not have suffered the amount of injuries if the mechanisms had worked properly. i had a head injury and whiplash, also. | |||
