Correct answer

  • ASí, si no se lleva puesto el cinturón de seguridad.Yes, if you are not wearing a seat belt.
Explanation

The airbag is designed to work together with the seat belt, not to replace it. If the occupant is not wearing the seat belt, the impact throws them forward just as the bag opens at high speed, and hitting it can cause serious injuries.
