of air bag inflation is a consequence
of extremely  short time in which  to
inflate  the   air  bag   between  the
occupant and the vehicle structures
before the  occupant impacts those
structures.  This  speed  of  inflation
reduces the  risk  of serious  or life-
threatening  injuries  and  is thus  a
necessary part of air bag design.
However, the rapid air bag inflation
can also  cause injuries  which can
include  facial   abrasions,  bruises
and  broken   bones  because   the
inflation speed also  causes the air
bags to expand with a great deal of
force.
