Abstract
The efficacy of air bags with seat belts as a vital, supplemental restraining device has been proven by their role in diminishing the rate of fatalities and severity of injury in motor vehicle crashes. Unfortunately, deployment of the airbag itself, especially without the seat belt, has caused some new problems. There are cases of injuries caused by the air bag itself. We report a 22-year-old female who sustained facial burns, cheek and nose, as the result of the activation of an air bag without a seat belt. Conservative treatment was performed and the wound healed with pigmentation. These injuries will be seen more frequently as more vehicles are equipped with air bags.
