Air bags in cars once seen as risky finally prove life saving
Lawana Hansen and her mother survived a 100 mph crash thanks to a six year old air bag in a 1975 Oldsmobile. The incident highlights federal data showing dozens of lives saved and ongoing debate over air bag safety and regulatory action. The Supreme Court later ruled the industry resisted safety rules, while government data tracked 265 serious crashes involving air bag cars and 376 people in bag protected front seats.
