Correct answer

  • CUn 14% de las muertes en conductores y un 11% de los daños en pasajeros.14% of driver deaths and 11% of injuries to passengers.
Explanation

The airbag prevents approximately 14% of driver deaths and 11% of injuries to passengers. This is because the airbag inflates and deflates quickly in an impact, protecting the vehicle's occupants from the deceleration forces and stopping the body from hitting the inside of the vehicle. However, the airbag is not foolproof and must not be used as the only protective element.
