Answers:
I need a saftey slogan pertaining to safety in a warehouse.?
Yes and no. Some systems, like Chrysler, power-down a few moments after the ignition is switched off. They are completely inert at that time. Ford systems stay active at all times, meaning that if one is struck hard enough in a parking lot there is a chance the bags will deploy. You will have to get the specifics for the car before you will be able to determine your answer for this one.Do you feel safer in a plane or car?
No, ignition must be on, and most of the time vehicle speed must be above 30 mph before they "arm". Boston, you have no clue what you're talking about. Even running cars that fell of a lift have never tripped the bag. The commercial where the old lady with a shopping bag is crossing the street in front of the honking car, then strikes the car to trip the bags is FICTION. If you still don't realize that, then tell my why there are ARMING, crash discriminating, and occupant detection sensors (among others) used in an airbag control system? The only point you are correct on is that a bag can still deploy after power has been disconnected. A bag can also deploy even when the key is turned back on after a crash event that did not deploy the bag at that time. Never reach through the steering wheel to get to the key in a crashed vehicle. Ever. Vehicle could also have a dual-stage bag. And to whoever gave my answer a thumbs down, you can just go listen to ridiculous ideas or opinions, not facts. Enjoy.If i bought airbags, but just needed them installed in my car, how much would it cost?
i would say yes,I'm not a professional in the area ,but my brother is ,he once explained to me that air bags deploy by sudden shaken of the vehicle, contrary to what most people think ,that a wire or sensors in the front bumper activate the air bags once the car gets in a crash,so yes if a car gets hit in the rear or front and the switch is off or engine not running, the air bags will deploy,of course somebody from a body shop,or air bag tech will tell you in details how airbags work.What is the max speed when using regular Snow Tires?
I would say no, as the probability of someone having a need to be protected usually doesn't exist if the car is not running.What is the minimum width of a median between two roads?
Yes, airbag deployment is determined by the violence of the impact and whether or not the seat is occupied. The position of the ignition switch or the speed of the vehicle are NOT factors. The airbag system is always "armed". And most systems will continue to be armed for a short period of time after the battery is disconnected.Advise on towing a car behind a uhaul?
yes and no. It just depends on the type of car. Some it is just the force that causes the air bag to come out, others the car must be on. Below is a website all about airbags that may explain it in more detail.More Questions & Answers ...
