Airbag Update 2007, Part 2

While airbag systems help to protect vehicle occupants during
a crash, they also can pose many special challenges to fire,
EMS, rescue, and law enforcement responders assisting at crash
scenes. For their own safety, first responders must be familiar
with current airbag system technology in today’s vehicles.
Join training expert Ron Moore for Part 2 of Airbag Update 2007
as he discusses airbag location and ID identifiers and tags and
side impact and roof airbags systems. He will also identify important
safety issues involving stored gas airbag inflator modules and
pressurized vessels and discuss how to handle these systems during
extrication.
