Airbags and safety belts used together reduce the risk of serious and fatal injuries by 40 to 55 percent. When all cars have Airbags, it's estimated this combination can save nearly 11,000 lives per year, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It is estimated that Airbags have reduced head-on crash fatalities by up to 30 percent and moderate-to-severe injuries by 25 to 29 percent.

Yes. Seat belts and airbags save lives by reducing injury severity. All safety devices (i.e. helmets, seat belts, airbags, etc.) are critical to increasing safety and preventing injury in motor vehicle, bicycle and sporting accidents. Due to the use of safety devices, more people survive accidents which otherwise would be fatal. This increased survivorship has resulted in an increase of people with severe brain injuries.

Although school buses are a very safe form of transportation, use of safety belts could be effective in reducing the number of injuries and deaths. In addition, it is important to teach children to buckle up consistently in all vehicles. present, only New York State and New Jersey have laws requiring lap belts on all new school buses -- and only New Jersey has an additional law saying that the students have to use the belts.

Ideally you will be able to get factory replacement belts for your machine from a local dealer. Make sure you bring all of the information stamped on the snowblowers identification tag or sticker, do not confuse this with the numbers on the engine. The OEM belts were engineered for the machine they fit. How a belt twists and bends as well as the work it does all enters into the design. Keep in mind that since they are special belts they are not always even inch sizes. See similar questions...

No. Rather than requiring safety belts, the NHTSA decided that the best way to provide crash protection for children on a school bus is through a concept called "compartmentalization." Compartmentalization provides a safety zone by using strong, closely spaced seats, energy-absorbing seat backs, and padding to protect school children if a crash occurs. Additionally, school buses must conform to other stringent safety standards required by the federal government and the State of Alabama. See similar questions...

To figure your true savings from the tax cut, divide your taxable property value by 100. Multiply that amount by 0.17. That amount is your tax savings for 2006. For example, if your taxable property value after any exemptions is $200,000, your tax savings is $340 for 2006. To figure your savings in 2007, estimate your taxable property value and divide by 100. Multiply that amount by 0.50. See similar questions...

Yes, you can. We make an adaptor kit that you can add to your present suspension system and level your bus from that manifold kit. See similar questions...

Yes. Just as safety belts are needed with Airbags, safety belt laws are needed as well. Mandatory safety belt use laws are effective in encouraging motorists to buckle up. Airbags are supplemental devices that need a safety belt to be most effective. In addition, safety belts with Airbags provide the best possible protection in side-impact, rollover and rear-impact collisions. See similar questions...

The front left and front right occupants of a motorized vehicle must wear their seatbelt (As defined in F.S.S. 316.614).

Airbags save lives. Airbags are the law. It is as simple as that. The main question we encounter is "Can we disconnect the passenger side airbag?" The answer to that is "NO". The Department of Transportation will, under special circumstances, give authorization for an owner to have the passenger airbag disabled. Galeana has decided that we will not disconnect them under any circumstances. Small children should be buckled up in a child seat in the rear seat. See similar questions...

The Campaign estimates that participating hospitals saved 122,300 lives in the Campaign’s first 18 months. In other words, due to improvements in care (some related to the Campaign, some not), an estimated 122,300 inpatients did not die during the Campaign period that we would have expected to die given 2004 levels of care.

Hospitals participating in the Campaign were required to submit monthly raw mortality data (deaths and discharges) to IHI for both the entire Campaign period (January 2005 – June 2006) and the 18 months prior (July 2003 – December 2004). See similar questions...

Breast cancer will strike one in eight women. That’s an estimated 178,480 of new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to occur among women in the United States during 2007. It's a fact: getting tested regularly for breast cancer is the best way for women to lower their risk of dying from the disease. Take charge of your breast health by performing your breast self-exam, seeing your doctor annually and getting regular mammograms. See similar questions...

The use of seat belts is recommended to decrease maternal and fetal trauma in the event of a motor vehicle accident. The best protection is provided with the diagonal shoulder strap and a lap belt . The diagonal strap should pass over the shoulder and across the chest between the breasts. The lap strap should lie across the upper thighs. Thus, the straps should be above and below the "bump" of pregnancy -- not over it. See similar questions...

The electronic “noise” and interference within your home or cabin can prevent your automated meter from being read. There may be a large industrial site nearby, which causes interference with automated readings occasionally. A storm or lightning may have caused interference to Lake Country Power’s electrical system before the automated meter reading would have been taken. See similar questions...

Yes. The aggregate national lives saved figure will be made public on June 14. As we continue the Campaign work, and continue to collect mortality data, it is very likely that we will continue to release aggregate national lives saved results in some form. IHI has no plans to publicly release regional lives saved (at the state level, for example), and will not release individual hospital measure results of any kind, including lives saved, per our confidentiality arrangement with participants.
