The airbag deploys so suddenly that it can almost feel\nlike your initial collision. It makes a loud pop and emits a very distinct\nsmell of burnt rubber or fabric. It is common to sustain minor burns from\nairbags as well. But these are not painful and heal quickly. Once an airbag\ndeploys, a person can feel extremely overwhelmed and not sure what to do next. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Continue reading for a simple guide on what to do when your\nairbag deploys, and be better prepared if it were to ever happen to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"531\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zoresindy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/24-hr-Tow-Truck-Indianapolis-Indiana-e1572370100173.jpg\" alt=\"24 Hour Towing 317-247-8484\" class=\"wp-image-681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zoresindy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/24-hr-Tow-Truck-Indianapolis-Indiana-e1572370100173.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.zoresindy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/24-hr-Tow-Truck-Indianapolis-Indiana-e1572370100173-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zoresindy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/24-hr-Tow-Truck-Indianapolis-Indiana-e1572370100173-768x453.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption>24 Hour Towing 317-247-8484<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turn Off Your Engine<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Most often, a vehicle\u2019s engine will turn off upon impact or\nairbag deployment. But sometimes, it doesn\u2019t. If you are not seriously injured,\nthis is the first step to take. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Assess Your Injuries<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>If your vehicle\u2019s engine turns off as a response to your\nairbag, then the first step you want to take is to assess any injuries you or\nyour passengers might have sustained. If you feel like you have broken bones or\ncan\u2019t move, wait for emergency personnel to arrive to help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Medical Care<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are not seriously injured, but still hurt, your next\nstep is to seek medical treatment. You can allow emergency medical technicians\nthat arrive in ambulances to provide a medical assessment and treatment at the\nscene of the accident; or, you can go to the emergency room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exit the Car and Assist Other Parties<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are not injured, exit the vehicle when the road is\nclear to do so. And if there was another vehicle involved in the accident,\ncheck to see if they need medical assistance. If no other cars were involved,\nthen simple remain in a safe spot on the side of the road and move onto the\nnext step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make Phone Calls<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>From a safe place, contact the police to file a report (especially if there were others involved). Then contact your insurance provider if necessary.
