FAQ
Q: What does it mean when airbags deploy in a crash?
A: Airbag deployment typically indicates a moderate to severe impact. It helps reduce injury risk but also signals that the crash force was significant.
Q: Why are T-bone crashes so dangerous?
A: T-bone impacts strike the side of a vehicle where there’s less structural protection, increasing the risk of injury to occupants seated closest to the point of contact.
Q: What should I do if another medic unit is called to my crash scene?
A: Stay calm. Multiple units may be dispatched based on early reports. On-scene responders will cancel extras if they determine the situation is under control.
