Correct answer
- BSí, si no llevas el cinturón de seguridad.Yes, if you are not wearing your seat belt.
Wearing a seat belt is compulsory under the General Traffic Regulations (RGC). Airbags are designed to work together with the seat belt; if it is not worn, the airbag may cause serious injuries instead of protecting you. This is because the seat belt keeps the occupant in place, so that the airbag can work correctly. So the correct answer is that an airbag going off can be dangerous if you are not wearing your seat belt.
